When you think about top notch tablets, Acer is the last name that comes to mind and that probably won’t change anytime soon. However, the company won’t follow the example of HP and give the segment up, but rather continue doing what they do, that is develop midrange slates with a budget prices and low quality in materials.
Acer claimed that they will continue to launch tablets in 2012, to dismiss the rumors about their supposed exit from the market, that recently appeared on the web. Company founder Stan Shih said that Acer won’t give up on tablets and last I heard they were also making an Ice Cream Sandwich slate, if I’m not mistaking. At least Shih admitted that the sales of Acer tablets have been underwhelming up until now, but the Taiwanese company will go on, as they see lots of potential on this market.
For comparison’s sake, the founder of the PC maker reminded us that Acer started slow in the notebook market and then became one of the world’s top PC vendors. Well, forgive me if I don’t see Acer becoming even a top 5 tablet maker in the next 3 years…
