Buckle Up – Acer, Lenovo and Samsung Plan To Release Tegra 3 Tablets Early Next Year
Digitimes is reporting that Acer, Lenovo and Samsung are planning to go thermo nuclear war against eachother in early 2012 with the release of their own quad-core, Nvidia Tegra 3 powered tablets. The rush for quad-core was sparked by ASUS’s upcoming Transformer Prime which will see a release sometime in December. According to sources, competition will be just as tricky as the last time around with the tablets mainly emphasizing an improvement in performance and design — not much else.
Even though Android tablets sales in 2011 weren’t all that great, this wont stop OEM’s from launching their new tabs at around near identical $460-600 price tags as last (this) year. Funny, I always thought one of the benefits to Android is that — like PC’s — they’re supposed to be higher powered and cheaper than Apple products? Go figure. Something tells me this is only going to help Kindle Fire sales.
