Whoa, what's this? Tucked between a fresh-out-of-the-oven Android
tablets is a new 10.1-inch Windows 7 tablet from Acer, and it looks as
if this fellow will be gracing store shelves long before its Google-
based brethren. Boasting an ebony motif and more gloss than a man
could ever know what to do with, this (also unnamed) device will
measure 15mm thick and weigh under 2.2 pounds, and while we're still
left to wonder about the screen resolution, HDD size or memory amount,
we are told that it'll use AMD silicon. It's not often you find an AMD-
based tablet, so we're more than eager to get our paws around this
thing and see how it compares to Qualcomm / Intel-powered
alternatives. And judging by this image above, Acer is planning a
docking solution in order to make it more useful at home -- an idea we
saw revealed at Computex with ASUS' Eee Pad. Other tidbits include a
pair of 1.3 megapixel cameras (one rear, one front-facing), inbuilt
WiFi and 3G and February 2011 ship date. Now, if only we had a price
to pore over...
