Intel Atom-based Tablet Coming from Acer in July, Making a Computex Debut?
According to a report by Digitime we are about to see a handful of Intel Atom-based Honeycomb tablets, the first of which will come from Acer. Running on the Oak Trail architecture, the Android 3.0 slate is said to launch in July at the latest, with production of the device already underway. Sources close to the matter indicated that Intel is pushing Android tablets based around Oak Trail to manufacturers, with Lenovo and Asus to follow suit after Acer.
Acer is hoping to take advantage of the improved performance of Intel’s chip while maintaining a price line that matches their other platforms. Given the rumored July launch date, we suspect Computex could be a sort of coming out party for Intel/Honeycomb slates. The timing is all too perfect.
