After mulling it over for quite some time, I decided that Acer's 7-inch screen is probably a better fit for my needs. It's easier to hold and it has all the ports I want. The drawbacks I've read about didn't seem like deal-breakers for me. I don't think I would have paid $300 for it, but I was happy to pay $190.  I'm new to Android, so this will be "fun."
I look forward to reading which of the three you decide to keep—and why. |
It seems you were looking at almost the exact same as me. The Transformer looked very nice, especially docked. The Thrive had some good upside but eventually I managed to catch the Acer on the Best Buy site yesterday for $189. I know I'll be using it for a e-reader first and a web browser second, rather have the 7" for my purposes.
The only difference is I looked at the Nook Tablet rather than the Fire I wanted expandability in the tablet. Magazines and comics looked great on it. I hope to have similar or better results on the Iconia.
