My A100 will be delivered today, but I won't be receiving the A500 until December 13. I plan to turn on the A100 and check out the screen a bit, but other than that I probably won't play with it much.
At this point, I'm planning to return the A100 and keep the A500. I received the case I bought for the A100 yesterday (it's nice!), and from that I can determine that the overall size of the device is the same as my Kindle Keyboard. I have played with other 7" screen tablets at Best Buy in the past, and that size isn't ideal (for me) for watching videos, in particular. I think I'll be happier with A500's 10.1" screen, even though it is heavier. The A500 also has a full-sized USB port (as well as a micro USB), which can be used with a thumb drive, etc. That's a plus over the A100, which only has a slave micro USB port. If I wanted a more portable device, I would probably keep the A100, but I'll be using a tablet mostly at home, so that's not important for me.
I'm disappointed that Best Buy moved my A500 delivery date from December 5 to December 13.
But I feel fortunate to have been able to buy it at that price. They appear to have sold out shortly after I purchased mine.
Here's a
guided tour of the A100 and the
A100 Owner's Manual.

I bought this
Leather Slim folio Case With Multi-Angle Stand for the A500. I think it'll be nice.
Enjoy your new tablet! I'd love to know what you think of it. Do you have yours yet?
