Acer Planning Low-cost 8-inch, 10-inch Quad-Core Tablets

Taiwanese multinational hardware and electronics corporation Acer is believed to be planning two quad-core tablets.

Acer's chief for the Greater China region, Linxian Lang, believes there's untapped potential in China, with more than 200 million devices expected to be sold this year. Excluding Apple's iPad and Samsung's Galaxy tablet range, approximately 120 million low and mid-range slates should be sold. Expect both slates to be announced during MWC late next month.

The company recently announced the Android-powered Liquid E1 smartphone, which runs on a dual-core 1GHz processor.

I don't agree with the posts above me. Personally, the more tablets @ cheaper prices (for the same level of hardware) the better! Just don't start mounting them in cars like a certain company has tried.

As long as it handles HD, has HDMI out, and GPS. I think it's a good option.
