Acer Iconia B1 Heading to Market Soon

[dgstorm]

Acer just announced a new tablet that will first be heading to markets in India soon, but will also likely debut at CES next week. It's called the Iconia B1, and will sell for a price of Rs 7,999 (about $140 USD). Here's a spec breakdown:

• 7 inch 1024x600 display
• Attractive blue band around the outside
• 1.2GHz dual-core processor
• 512MB of RAM
• 8GB of on-board storage
• A microSD card slot
• Android 4.1/Jelly Bean

These specs seem rather lackluster, even for the cheap pricing. Perhaps if it comes to the US market it will be marked down to around the $100 dollar mark. It might be worth a glance at that price, but it's hard to get excited about it if this pricing model holds up. Share your thoughts.

Is the "Attractive blue band" around the outside an official Acer boasted spec, or was this sarcasm?

Hello! I bought it for "El día del padre" to make a present to my father. It's a good and cheap tablet (only 109 euros in Spain) which has almost everythig - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS modules. Ideal for the people like my father - books, music and travels.

Cool, I hope he's enjoying it.

Yes, he is enjoying it. Now Iam looking how to root it to use a 3G internet, like I did on my A200. So, anyone knows how to root it?

Thanks in advance!

Probably check on XDA if it's not there, then no one has done it.
