Acer is set to hit the tablet market in a big way this year. The company is starting its migration from producing Windows based netbooks and moving more towards a 7in and 10in version of Android tablets. This is great news for us. Acer makes a pretty good product, in my opinion.
Lu Bing-hsian, Taiwan sales manager, said “They are aimed at phasing out netbooks. That’s the direction of the market.”
What really excites me about this is something else Lu let everyone know. “We will use Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processors, run an Android operating system and will use a four-core processor.”
Now that is something crazy to hear. We have all just been ramped up to start seeing dual-core processors in phones and tablets. Now Acer is already talking quad-core. I can’t even imagine how stupid fast these things could be. The devices are slated to hit the market sometime this year. I might just have to hold off from the G-Slate and see how this all plays out.
