Acer Introduces the ICONIA TAB A510 Olympic Games Edition – This ultimate tool for the road features very long battery life, quad-core performance, and mobile productivity toolsHANNOVER, GERMANY

Acer introduces the ICONIA TAB A510 Olympic Games Edition. Celebrating Acer’s partnership with the Olympic Movement, the design unites the Acer and Olympic logos, and is available in black or silver. The ICONIA TAB A510 is the company’s newest Android Ice Cream Sandwich-based tablet. It features 15 hours of battery life for true all-day usability, a powerful NVIDIA® TEGRA® 3 quad-core processor, and the latest tools for mobile productivity, sharing and more.

The ICONIA TAB A510′s 9800mAh battery supports up to 15 hours of HD video playback. The extra power doesn’t add bulk to the tablet because parallel battery packaging keeps it slim.

A powerful NVIDIA® TEGRA® 3 quad-core processor executes a smart workload distribution with more power and less battery consumption. It handles heavy multitasking, HD videos, console-like gaming, and faster web browsing, while a fifth “companion” core takes care of low-power tasks like music playback and active standby.

Mobile productivity apps include Acer Print, which makes wireless printing easier with support for various document formats, photos and web pages. Acer Print is compatible with 87% of brand-name printers on the current market.

Polaris® Office, meanwhile, is optimized for tablet-based work. It provides practical improvements for editing and reading MS Office documents on the go.

Noise suppression and echo cancellation technologies enhance audio recording, and video calls in HD Voice are excellent. Superior audio enjoyment for music, movies and more comes courtesy of Dolby® Mobile 3+ with premium 5.1-channel HD output.

The ICONIA TAB A510 Olympic Games Edition starts a series of products that Acer designed specially for the Olympic Games in London. Available for consumers starting from March, this is the perfect tablet for cheering on your favorite athletes during the biggest sports event of 2012.

Steve Jobs Wins Special Grammy

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be awarded a special Grammy in 2012, as the man behind iTunes and the iPod is honored by an industry once skeptical of his intentions.

The Recording Academy will announce the awards for Jobs at the Special Merit Awards the night before the television ceremony next February. The former CEO of Apple will be awarded the Trustee Award, an honor given to non-performing contributors in the music industry.

"He took technology and turned it into art, becoming a key player and leader in the entertainment world, particularly music, and changing the way we all use the Internet and consume music, TV, movies, books, graphics, and more," the Recording Academy said.

The Academy also called the late Jobs a visionary, pioneer and a genius, all high praise, considering he was once vilified by the same industry giving him this award.

Several artists and record labels once frowned upon Jobs' implementation of iTunes in the music world, as many believed it opened the door to further piracy. However, the Recording Industry Association of America came around once iTunes began to show big revenues and profits for the industry, slowly realizing Jobs was an ally and an asset to the business.

Some artists and labels still discredit Jobs' contributions to the music industry, refusing to allow their music on iTunes because they feel something is lost in the transition to digital downloads. However, the decision to award Jobs with a Grammy is proof that a majority of people in the music business believe he played a positive role in the industry's darkest hour.

Jobs introduced iTunes at a time when many users were downloading music illegally through programs like the first iteration of Napster. He believed people would purchase music digitally if it were set up in the proper medium and made easy, and his conviction paid off for Apple and the record business.

Music and CD sales may never again reach their heyday, but considering the position the industry would be in if Jobs never made iTunes a reality, his Grammy is well-deserved.
