It was running Android v2.2, but the Acer rep made it clear the device won't be launched until it has Honeycomb on it. The screen was big, bright and beautiful. The device was responsive. It was clearly online. Not sure if it was wifi or 3G. I didn't set it up.
It had a USB slot and an HDMI slot. It takes a microsd card. There is a power switch, rotation lock slider button and a volume control rocker bar.
The Home, Back and Menu button implementation was novel. You have to swipe your finger tip right to left in the lower-right corner of the screen and a small 3-button softpad appears....with Back, Home and Menu on it. Until you work out how to make that appear, you can get yourself into apps....but there was no obvious way to get out again. :-) (ACER may have explained this before I arrived for the meeting.)
I took a couple of pics in the darkened roon...so you can't see much of the device itself. The bezel is barely a centimeter in the top and bottom and less on the size. This device is almost all screen.
I liked it.
They also said there would be a 7" model.
Pricing was suggested at $799 for the wifi-only model.
Here are the pics. They don't really do it justice, but they hopefully give it some 'reality'. I held it. I used it. It was pretty good. I'd be interested in what others who were thought of it. :-)
