Acer Inc. is planning to launch an Android tablet priced around U.S for $99 early next year. At 7-inches with a 1024x600 resolution screen and 1.2GHz dual-core processor, the so called Iconia B1 tablet.
The 7-inch tablet market has been getting increasingly crowded this year, with Apple Inc. launching the $329 iPad Mini and Google partnering with Asustek on the $199 Nexus 7 to challenge Amazon's and Barnes and Noble's popular devices that size. Plans for low cost tablet began hastily this fall, in response to aggressively priced offering by competitors. The final price will be determined country-by-country.
Aside from the Iconia B1, the company is also planning to launch a low-priced version of its Intel-based Windows 8 tablet early next year.
