0 Acer jumps into Budget Tablet Market with Iconia B1 for Rs. 7,999

Acer's 7-inch Iconia B1 tablet running Jelly Bean coming to India end of January for Rs. 7,999 

  

Acer Iconia B1 is likely to sport a 7-inch screen with a 1024x600 resolution. It will be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor alongside 512MB RAM and come with 8GB internal storage (expandable via microSD slot), GPS and Bluetooth 4.0

Acer's plans to launch a low cost tablet targeted at emerging markets are hardly a secret. Last week, WSJ reported that the company is planningto release the $99 Iconia B1 in "early 2013". We had speculated that we might see the tablet being announced at CES, and the latest bit of information we've heard from our sources all but confirms the same. 

According to our source, the tablet will be reach Indian shores as early as end of January, and will be priced at an attractive Rs. 7,999. Our source didnot confirm the rumoured specs, but did mention that the tablet will indeed be running Jelly Bean, as rumoured. 

If the pricing and launch date turn out to be right, we expect the tablet to do really well. The Rs. 7,999 pricing of this $99 tablet would be great news for customers following the disappointment of Nexus 7 pricing in India
