Some 10 days ago we’ve told you about the still unannounced Acer V360 and now we caught another smartphone made by the Taiwanese company – V350. What’s confusing, however, is that this is a better device, despite having a lower model number. The information comes from GLBenchmark, which is known as the place where many…
Acer is working on a new low-cost Android tablet which as far as we can tell will cost some $150 or less. The still unannounced Iconia B1 has been caught at the FCC and from its listing at the Commission’s website we learn that it will support cellular connectivity (at least the version FCC got…
Acer will soon unveil a new Android smartphone which will be their first such device running Jelly Bean. The forthcoming Acer V360 is a mid-end smartphone with specs that include a 4.5-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) touchscreen, 5-megapixel rear camera, VGA front-facing one, 1GHz dual-core processor, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. Size wise, it measures 132×68.5×9.9 mm…
Bloomberg is reporting troubling times for Windows tablets this holiday season. According to one industry analyst, early demand for Microsoft Surface, the company’s self-built Windows RT tablet, has been disappointing, leading Microsoft to allegedly reduce the number of Surface RT units ordered from its distributors. The same can be said of alternative Windows-based tablets, with the…
If you’re looking for an affordable yet pretty powerful 7-inch tablet, you know you should get the Nexus 7. Alternatively, there are other options like Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook Tablet, iPad mini (though it’s not as affordable as other devices), as well as the Acer Iconia Tab A110. The last mentioned is now selling for…
It was at the end of September when we told you about the Acer Liquid Z110 Duo, a dual-SIM Android smartphone, and now it’s available in the UK from Clove. However, we must warn you not to buy this thing even though it sells for just 110.40 GBP (and that’s the off-contract price). The reason…
Two weeks ago I ranted why I don’t like the new Samsung Chromebook, saying that it’s too heavy for what it offers. Some hate mail (comments actually) followed… The new Acer C7 Chromebook is even worse, and is everything but easy to carry around. Sure enough, if your main laptop has a 15-inch screen, you’ll…
Just a few weeks after the Acer Iconia Tab A110 was unveiled, a higher-end Iconia A220 has appeared in GLBenchmark results. The benchmark doesn’t suggest whether we’ll see a 7″, 10″ or other-sized display, though it does show that Acer upped the ante on screen resolution. The A220 opts for a 1,280 x 752 display as…

Though Google can afford to offer the ASUS-built Nexus 7 tablet at or below cost in hopes of recouping the lost revenues on ecosystem sales, other would-be tablet manufacturers continue to need to turn a profit in order to support the business. Acer announced the comparable 7″ Iconia A110 back at Computex in June, complete…
