Acer Iconia Tab A500 alternatives

Well-built with good screen and great battery life. The A500 offers full USB port and micro-HDMI out for flexibility, built-in DLNA media sharing and easy-to-access Micro SD card support. A well-rounded Honeycomb tablet that should get even better when 3.1 is available at the end of June [2 June 2011]

With 32GB storage the A500 offers a similar price/package to the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. Early reports indicate quality speakers and a good battery life.
