Acer to launch Iconia Tab A100 7-in Tablet


Acer is reportedly set to launch a 7-in tablet featuring Google's Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system and Nvidia's Tegra 2 processor.

According to Taiwan based Digitimes.com, the launch will take place in late April or May 2011.

Earlier this month, Acer announced that its Iconia Tab A500, 10.1-in, Android 3.0 tablet is available for pre-order from Best Buy immediately for $450.

The Iconia Tab A500 is powered by a NVIDIA Tegra 250 1GHz dual-core processor and integrated GeForce GPU.

While the Tab A500 is competing against the 9.8-in screen Android 3.0 Motorola Xoom tablet, the Tab A100 would be pitched against the 7-in screen, Android 2.3 Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Acer is reported to have carried out surveys that have convinced the company that an adequate market exists for 7-in tablets. The survey's reveal that women prefer the lighter 7-in tablets because it can be held in one hand and controlled with the other.

It will be interesting to see how aggressively Acer prices its reported 7-in tablet offering. Samsung recently introduced a Wi-Fi only version of the Galaxy Tablet priced at $350.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
