Acer announces 7-inch and 10.1-inch Android tablets, coming in April 2011

After announcing a near 5-inch smartphone powered by Android, here come some more Android tablets. This time, they’re real tablets, not some half tablet half smartphone thing. There’ll be two versions when the thing launch, a 7-inch and a 10.1-inch tablet, and both will be powered by Android. Presumably Honeycomb, which will be tailored for tablets.

Both the tablets will be powered by a dual-core processor. The larger 10.1-inch tablet will have a 1 GHz processor, while the smaller 7-inch will have a 1.2GHz processor, rumored to be from Qualcomm. Both will support Flash 10.1, and Acer stated Android 2.2, unless Google releases Honeycomb in time. Thickness is around 13.3mm, with 1080p output over HDMI. The panel has a ten-point multitouch system and integrated Gyroscope. Typical suspects are WiFi and optional 3G. These will be coming in April of 2011, so it’s still a quarter and more away from the launch date, so we’ll see if Google makes it in time. If not, then it’ll probably be Froyo, with updates to Gingerbread soon after.
