Pros

Comfortable size, long battery life.
Android Gingerbread, Excellent Browsing Experience, Very Sturdy Build, Large Screen, HDMI Port
The Acer Iconia Tab A501 4G (AT&T) is the cheapest 4G Honeycomb tablet currently on the market. Also, it includes a full USB port and Micro-HDMI.
Relatively inexpensive, Always-on AT&T connection, Clean version of Android.

Cons

Limited preloaded software, short cables
Heavy & Bulky, Problems with HD Video Playback, Average Camera
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.
Speeds don't come near "4G", Data plan is very expensive for heavy users, Android still doesn't have enough tablet-friendly apps.
