The tablet is “targeted at young or new users or families looking for an additional tablet for their children. The Iconia B1 is also ideal for busy individuals seeking a convenient mobile companion,” Acer says in a press note. The machine is to mount a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 512MB RAM. The processor is from Mediatek. The display is a TFT panel with a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels at 170-ppi. It has 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded up to 32GB if required.
“At 11.3 ounces and 11.3mm thick it’s a pretty svelte device, especially considering its expected starting price of under $150,” says Engadget. It has a VGA front facing camera for video chatting. For connectivity, the Acer tablet has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB 2.0. However, Acer has missed to announce the exact release date. Maybe, it will be on display at MWC 2013.

The two devices - the Archos Titanium 70 and the Acer B1-A71 - both cost the same, £99, and both run Android Jelly Bean, the latest version of Google's mobile operating system.
The Archos sports a dual core 1.6Ghz processor, with quad core GPU, and 8GB of storage that's expandable to 64GB with a MicroSD card. The Acer features a 1.2Ghz processor, with 8GB of storage expandable to 32GB with the right SD card.
It's fair to say that neither of the tablets is particularly impressive in the numbers department, and while the price point is pretty low - around $130 - you can't help but think it might be worth shelling out an extra $50 to get a Nexus 7 instead.

Previously, Wall Street Journal quoted a source as saying that Acer was working on a $99 tablet that will have a 7-inch screen with 1024x600p resolution and run on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). A US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) application for the tablet revealed others specifications of the Google Nexus 7 rival, including 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB onboard storage, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi as well as microSD support.

At seven inches with a 1024 x 600 resolution screen and 1.2GHz dual-core processor, the so-called Iconia B1 tablet will have somewhat similar specs to Amazon.com Inc’s Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Inc’s Nook Color. But Acer plans to undercut those best-selling tablets’ $139 price tag by offering the Iconia B1 for around $99, the person said. The final shelf price will be determined country-by-country.

The WSJ is reporting that Acer is planning to launch the Iconia B1 Android tablet for just $99, a major price cut compared to 7-inch tablets like the $159 Amazon Kindle Fire. Unfortunately for U.S. consumers, the company is currently planning on releasing the Iconia B1 in emerging markets, though it has submitted the tablet to the FCC. The launch is designed to combat Asus' rumored low-price Android slate, which is supposedly also due next year, though an Asus spokesperson denied such reports.

The slick tablet is priced at $230 and will run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Sadly, Acer isn't updating some of its older Iconia tablets to Android 4.1. The tablet is powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core processor paired with 8 GB of internal storage and a microSD memory card slot supporting up to 32 GB of additional storage.
The tablet lacks a rear-facing camera, which is actually quite common in lower-end Android-powered tablets. As expected, the A110 does feature a front-facing camera for video conferencing, promises up to 7.5 hours of use per battery charge and weighs 0.86 pounds. The tablet is less than half an inch thick, yet the seven-inch screen boasts a sweet resolution of 1024 x 600, as well as 1 GB of RAM and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity.
