Sources from the upstream supply chain
revealed to DigiTimes that Acer is working on a tablet with a slide-out keyboard. The 10" device is expected to hit the market in Q4 2011.
Acer's new slide tablet PC will adopt a 10-inch touch screen, ARM-based processor and will be manufactured by Compal Electronics, which declined to comment about its clients, noted the sources, adding that estimated shipments for the device are still not available as Acer is currently still in the middle of clearing its notebook inventory and is taking a conservative attitude toward its orders.
