Although tablets grow in popularity every other day not many first tier manufacturers have released such products, Acer being among the first ones to do so since its CEO announced the Taiwanese company will launch its first line of tablet PCs on November 23rd, priced from $299 to $699 each.

At the moment not many other details are known leaving us to speculate on what sort of hardware and software will these things run, although I am willing to bet that at least one (if not all) of Acer's offerings will be based on the Android operating system.

When it comes down to their sizes, all sort of rumors have circulated ever since Acer CEO, Gianfranco Lanci, teased us with a 7-inch Android tablet sometime in May, stating the company will launch both a 7 inch and a 10 inch tablet, a much smaller 5 inch offering (similar with the Dell Streak) being also reported as possible.

During that event held in Beijing, Acer's CEO showed members of the press a 7 inch QWERTY keyboard packing Android tablet, suggesting this will be available with 3G connectivity sometime during the forth quarter of 2010.

Since Q4 2010 has already arrived, this may be one of the tablets that Gianfranco Lanci stated that will be launched on November 23, although these are only suppositions at this time since nothing is certain and the tablet showcased back them could as well have been just a prototype that wasn't meant for mass production.

End of it all, I can certainly say that, if it holds up to its word, Acer could as well become one of the major competitors in the tablet market since not many major manufacturers have released their offerings until now and Acer certainly has what it takes in order to succeed.

Until then we'll have to wait and see what the future (or better said Acer) has in store for us, but I certainly wouldn't complaint to seeing some aggressively priced Acer tablets in the wild. (via  TCMagazine)
