Another day, another tablet toddles into the world. Now it’s Acer’s turn, although the PC-making giant is playing it cool with the specs of its forthcoming tablet (or tablets), revealing only that it’ll be launching its first line of touchy slates in New York City on 23 November. What could they have in store?
The simple answer is: we don’t know yet. We don’t know whether the firm will launch a single model or a range of different sizes. We don’t know the OS – although previous whispers have suggested Google Chrome OS – or, naturally, Android – may be on the cards.
What we do know is the price range, funnily enough. Albeit in US dollars. The Acer tablet range will start at $299 (£189) and go up to $699 (£440). That’s quite a spread, suggesting to us that we could be looking at at least two different screen sizes (say, 7-inch and 10-inch) – or perhaps Acer has already thrashed out deals with US carriers that will see the price of the Acer tablet itself subsidised.
Well, 23 November can’t come soon enough. We’ll be keeping an ear to the ground for more Acer tablet rumour rumbles in the meantime.
