Acer kündigt Android Tablets und Riesen-Phone an

Die Vermutung, Acer würde ein Android Tablet vorstellen hat sich nicht nur bestätigt, sie wurde noch „getoppt“, denn was Acer gestern angekündigt hat, dürfte dem ein oder anderen das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen lassen. Zwar dauert es noch eine Weile, bis die angekündigten Geräte erscheinen werden, aber diese „haben es in sich“.

Ab April nächsten Jahres sollen ein 7“, ein 10.1“ Tablet und ein Smartphone mit 4.8“ von Acer erhältlich sein.

Die beiden Tablets verfügen unter anderem über einen 1.2 GHz Dual Core ARM-Prozessor von Qualcomm (das 7“), einen 1 GHz Dual Core Nvidia Tegra 2 (das 10.1“), beide jeweils eine Auflösung von 1280 x 800 Pixeln, haben außer WLAN auch 3G an Bord, verfügen jeweils über einen HDMI-Ausgang und zwei Kameras.

Bei dem Riesen-Phone handelt es sich um ein Smartphone mit einem 4.8“ Display, das über eine Auflösung von 1024 x 480 Pixel verfügt. Außerdem verfügt es über eine 8 Megapixel Kamera und eine 2 Megapixel Kamera, einen HDMI-Ausgang und wird von einem 1 GHz Snapdragon Prozessor angetrieben.

Gedulden muss man sich, wie schon erwähnt, allerdings bis April nächsten Jahres, bis die neuen „Kracher“ erhältlich sein werden.

Live and interact in total mobility

Tablets according to Acer

New York, November 23rd 2010 - Acer enters the tablet arena with a very clear objective in mind: complete its range of products in support of its goal to simplify content consumption – a strategy which began with the development of Acer's multimedia sharing system, Clear.fi.

Acer's strategy is based on the concept of sharing multimedia content and enjoying it across any device, and Tablets are ideal devices for this purpose.
With close to 19 million tablets sold worldwide in 2010, 54.8 million units expected to be sold in 2011, and 208 million units forecasted for 2014, the market seems to confirm this idea.

Mobility, which has always been part of Acer's DNA, finds a new form of expression in the range of tablets on offer, which feature various display sizes and models designed to fit different kinds of usage scenarios.

Weight and display size have a huge impact on the user experience. While devices with bigger screens are used to share and enjoy content, smaller devices are often used to create content - taking photos, recording videos or sending messages.

A 10.1" Android tablet for a superb mobile and home entertainment experience
Sleek, smart and full of innovative features, the 10.1" full capacitive touch screen tablet with Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity ensures an optimal on-screen experience from every angle. Aluminum casing provides a cool look and feel, while its high gloss finish decorated with engraved patterns creates a subtle sophistication. And despite being just 13.3mm thick, it's powerful enough to guarantee fun and productivity whether you need it .

Designed for HD entertainment, this tablet comes with a high resolution, high color contrast display, allowing you to play or share HD video with your friends wherever you are. Complete with a built-in HDMI port and 1080p capability, you can also use it to enjoy multimedia content in Full HD on your big screen TV.
But the best of all is that on this tablet you will be able to run and play premium HD arcade games and complex online 3D games, thanks to the 10 point multitouch and gyro meter control, that guarantees an entertainment experience on par with the best game consoles.

Available April 2011
7" Android Tablet: the epitome of mobility
Don't be fooled by its ultra-compact size: the 7" tablet is fully featured and takes your mobile experience to the next level. On the 7" (1280x800) 16:10 aspect ratio full touch screen, you can enjoy games, photos, videos while keeping up with your emails or your favourite social networks. Video chat or record a video with the front-facing HD camera. With HDMI support, hooking it up for a big screen video experience is easyier than ever!
