$99 Tablet from Acer


Acer is planning to launch an Android tablet early next year to undercut those best-selling pricey tablets. Iconia B1 tablet market cost is  only $99, the lowest model so far from Acer. The final shelf price will be determined country-by-country.

The low cost tablet target consumers will be from developing countries who cannot afford those expensive brands. The 7  inches tablet  has a 1024 x 600 resolution screen and 1.2GHz dual-core processor,  somewhat similar specs to Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -1.14%’s Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Inc. BKS -2.16%’s Nook Color.

Aside from the Iconia B1, another personnel from Acer’s tablet products said the company is also planning to launch a low-priced version of Intel-based Windows 8 tablets.

Everyone deserves a tablet and $99  would be great price to get more people on the internet without spending a lot of money.

  12. Having more options for consumers to choose from is always great. Nice product for those who are just into the basic features of a tablet. no complications.

  13. Not sure if "everyone deserves a tablet" but it is a nice piece of tech to have. Mobile Internet usage is much easier now and tablets play a big part in that growth. For Android tablets though I'd go with Google's hardware.

  18. What a great deal that is then. I don't own any ACER computer, but my parents back in Pinas are going to buy a desktop ACER VOC.. I wonder if they are that good, but I guess it will do it. I don't own a tablet either, but I wonder how big of a difference it is between an iPad and a tablet? I have an iPad, but don't know about the tablet.. sure looks like a neat one this ACER though.

  19. yay! but not so fond about Acer though especially that I didn't like my Acer lappy when I use photoshop. the pictures is not as crisp as the original. i don't why but, this is something to consider though especially that it's a win 8.
