Acer to launch world’s first 14.1-inch Tablet PC in 2Q | |
|

According to sources, in the second quarter of 2003 Acer will launch the world’s first 14.1-inch TFT LCD Tablet PC. The company’s first Tablet PC – the TravelMate C100 – was equipped with a 10.4-inch screen and has sold 35,000 units since its launch last year. With the larger screen, Acer will leapfrog brand vendors such as Toshiba and Motion Computing, which have adopted 12.1-inch screens. Acer decided not to use a 12.1-inch screen because the price of 14.1-inch panel is close to that of 12.1-inch, sources said. Like the TravelMate C100, the new model will come with a keyboard and use the same kind of flat panel display apparatus and tilt/swivel mechanism. Acer expects to ship over 300,000 Tablet PCs this year, of which 200,000 units will be of the convertible-screen type and 100,000-150,000 units of the slate type (pure handwriting pads) or other new forms, component suppliers revealed. International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts two million Tablet PCs will be shipped this year. | ||

| Well, that's about all I can take. If these babies are under $2200, I'm gonna buy one. :-) |

Cool idea 14.1 TFT LCD ...but I just hope it doesn't get too heavy because the idea of a Tablet PC is to make light and more portable like a note or legal pad. I guess time will tell.
#3 I think you're in the wrong forum. |

| but parker, you can't say its successful or not based on how many are sold... at least when you are talking about Apple. Instead, think about the important things like 1) does the shell shine or is it translucent 2) does it include at least 2 ports that you will never ever use? |

| MrRoper, you sound like an "angry angry" person. You also sound like a hypocrit. |

hypocrite, it's spelled h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e. How can anyone take your opinions seriously if you can't even spell?
You may want to look up a definition of it You'll see how you're wrong in your use of it too. |

wow, Roper is reduced to critiquing my spelling. And I was calling you a hypocritE related to your posting on another board here at AW. On the other board, you were talking against namecalling or some nonsense, then you do the same thing on this board.
BTW Roper, this is a web board... not exactly a place of perfect spelling and grammer. |
