I purchased the 8GB Acer Iconia A100 online at Best Buy today for $189.99. I'm aware that the device has a few drawbacks, but it has every feature that I was looking for in a small tablet, and I think it's a good value for the price. It usually sells for around $300.

I downloaded the user's manual, and now I have another question. The A100 uses a 32GB micro SD card, and in the manual it specifies that the card must "use the FAT or FAT32 file system." I know that FAT is a formatting term, but how can I tell if a micro SD card uses either FAT or FAT32? The card product descriptions never seem to mention this.
