The bad: The tablet ships with Android 3.0.1, limiting its video compatibility, features, and performance. The A501's screen has a narrow viewing angle, and it fails to earn its hefty weight.
The bottom line: The Acer Iconia Tab A501 4G (AT&T) is the A500 with HSPA+ connectivity at a very competitive price compared with other 4G tablets; however, its adherence to Android 3.0 limits its appeal, but in our opinion this is for the moment. The tendency of the Android operating system is a fact and we are in it and with very good results.

I didn't know Acer had a tablet out. I'd be interested in seeing how it compares with the Nook Tablet if you'd care to update with more specifics, a side by side list would be great. The front and rear facing cameras definitely give this one an advantage over the Nook, wonder how it compares in size, operating system, etc. Or were you comparing it more to an Ipad?
For the price though, especially if adding the bluetooth keyboard I'd recommend just getting the Acer Aspire One 722 11" netbook. You'd save a couple hundred bucks and get more features and better operating system, everything but the cool touchscreen.
