Acer, Europe's preferred bill P.C. maker, has jumped in to the inscription game. Introduced yesterday, and existing in April, the 7 and 10-inch tablets will both run the Android OS, and both have the slim body and foolishly long widescreen manifestation you have advance to design given the Milky Way Tab arrived.
The ten-incher has a capacitive multi-touch 1080p screen, Wi-Fi and 3G, HDMI-out, a 5MP rear-facing camera in addition to a front-facing webcam. This all runs on a dual-core 1GHz processor, and is tucked inside a thin, 13.3mm bombard (just over a half-inch). There's moreover a gyroscope for gaming.
The 7-inch inscription has a 1280×800 shade but is instead the same.
Acer hasn't mentioned that chronicle of Android the tablets will use, but the notion is that it will be the made-for-cellphones v2.2 Froyo rsther than than a purpose-designed inscription Android OS. The many critical reason in this race is price, and whilst nothing is nonetheless confirmed, Acer's comparison clamp boss Jim Wong mentioned that the tablets will be between $300 and $700. That's a large "between": $300 spells success, $700 disaster.
It's humorous that the mint inscription marketplace has already incited in to a commodity race to the bottom. It's netbooks 2.0, usually with Android instead of Windows XP, and with touch-screens instead of keyboards. If you have schooled anything from the iPad it's that the working network is the many critical part, something that seems to have slipped by Acer and Samsung. When the proper, straight hardware/software gadgets from HP (WebOS) and RIM (PlayBook) uncover up, then the inscription marketplace will feverishness up.
