The Acer Iconia B1 is one of the most exciting devices we expect to see at CES not just for its specs which are rather mediocre but for its unmatched price tag…

Nexus 7 is still better than this, and why can't Acer trim the bezel around the display......... ???

The back looks good but I think Acer is a littel too late to the party

This doesn't mean to compete with N7, rather it will exploit the content created for N7 and sell mostly in market where N7 is not present.

This would be suitable for budget-minded people like me who would don't want to sacrifice performance.

It would be great if they added a 3G module and priced it at 199 , Nexus 7 will feel the pressure even more

All this for just $50 more. Your choice

This Acer should be in CES 2012

just so you know, for countries with no access to devices of the play store, nexus 7 (16gb) goes for around USD 300. It may not worth anything in countries with play store devices access, but for those without, it will be a really good option for those tight on their budget. You do pay for what you get, of course a low spec-ed tablet will have a few short comings.

Tab with less than 1GB RAM will be dificult to use.
