Acer Will Not Release Tablet Competition for the iPad [Acer]

[retroremakes]

Acer, in contrast to what we'd heard before (http://gizmodo.com/5456161/busy-times-at-acer-where-theyre-working-on-a-tablet-ereader-and-app-store), has just said that they'll not be making a tablet to compete with the iPad, instead focusing on ultra-thin laptops. Acer sees these ultra-thins, including many that will run Google Chrome. Acer was cock-sure enough to mention that an iPad-like tablet "would not pose any technical challenges for Acer," but that that design just doesn't fit into their business model right now. Bet Apple's letting out a big old "phew!" in Cupertino about that one.
