Acer Iconia Tab A501 for AT&T arrives at the FCC

Posted by newbie Tuesday, June 14, 2011 0 comments
March saw the announcement of the Acer Iconia Tab A501 from AT&T, which is actually the 3G-enabled model of the Acer A500 tablet. Needless to say, Acer is not going to skimp on the operating system, ushering out the latest Android 3.0 Honeycomb version (hopefully with Android 3.1 to come in the near future). Well, the Iconia Tab A501 has already gone through the motions over at the FCC, where it will support AT&T's GSM 850 and 1900 bands, in addition to WCDMA II and V bands. So far, FCC test reports have pointed towards support for HSUPA and HSDPA protocols also, but there was no beep about HSPA+.

AT&T is working on a roadmap to roll out the A501 sometime in the second quarter of this year, so we should be able to see the A501 in a couple of weeks' time unless Acer screws up their delivery calendar. There is no word on pricing yet as at press time.
