Acer to bring 2 touchscreen tablets this year

Rumors of more and more producers preparing their own touchscreen tablets this year emerge lately, and this time some reports speak about two devices that guys at Acer will launch by the end of this year, probably in Q4 2010, just in time for the Winter shopping season.

Don’t expect them to be a true rival for the iPad, but if these speculations are true, Acer’s products will for sure offer a great price/features rapport, like most fo their product do.What we now for now is that there are going to be two tablets, a 7 and a 10 inch one, both built on ARM platforms and boosting Android as OS. This can be translated in decent multimedia capabilities, including Flash and 720p video compatibility. Plus, given how many tablets on Android were announced recently, expect more and more useful applications to become available soon, with many of them cheaper than the ones for the iPad, if not free.

I do hope Acer will take better care of details and finishing on these devices than they do on their netbooks, like my 1825PT for example.

Still, there’s only so much you can do with an Android tablet, I was also expecting something Windows based from Acer. But I guess I’ll have to settle for options like the MSI WindPad or one of the Asus EEE Pads, whenever they will become available.
