Acer showing off a Full HD quad-core tablet

The Transformer Prime now has a competitor and it comes as no surprise that it’s coming from Acer. The company has just announced their quad-core device at CES 2012 and if anything, it’s even better than the Prime. The device is going to be called the Iconia Tab A700 (not quite as cool as ASUS’ device) and was briefly shown at the company’s conference with the rest of i’s specifications revealed later.

The device is quite powerful – it relies on Nvidia’s Tegra 3 processor, just like the Prime, and it also features a Full HD display, which is quite a significant upgrade. Software wise, the device is running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and its going to hit the market in Q2 this year – sadly, a bit later than expected. B. A.
