DigiTimes spoke to Acer and heard that rumors that the company will withdraw from the tablet and smartphone markets are false, although Acer does confirm that its tablets aren't a major success.
In response to the rumor that Acer will withdraw from the tablet PC and smartphone markets, the company's founder, Stan Shih, has said that although Acer's tablet operation has not performed well, it is not time to give up the business.

He said experiencing frustration is an unavoidable the process, just like Acer's encountering troubles when it entered the notebook market.
