Acer Iconia B1 |
The coming 2013 is shaping to become the year of the ultra-budget
tablets. The Wall Street Journal, citing a source who has “direct
knowledge” on the matter, reports that the upcoming Acer
Iconia B1 tablet will be priced at “around $99.” The final shelf
price, meanwhile, will be determined on a country-to-country basis.
The 7-inch tablet is slated to sport similar specs as older versions
of the Kindle Fire and Nook Color, including a 1024 x 600 screen
resolution and a 1.2GHz processor.
Acer is set to launch the Iconia B1 in developing markets first. No
word whether it will land in the United States, even though the device
has been submitted to the country’s Federal Communications Commission
for clearance.
