In an interview published today, the chief executive of Acer, Gianfranco Lanci stated that Acer’s decision to only ship Android tablets in April 2011 was deliberate- they wanted to wait for the tablet-optimized Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). He agreed with Apple about 10″ being the ideal tablet size, but goes on to say that Android will do what the iPad can’t. “Take iPad — when they came out it was without Flash and with certain limitations. With Android products we will fix that. Talking about screen resolution and even in terms of touch, view angles — there are a lot of things where you still have big room for differentiation or improvement compared to Apple.” In addition to releasing Android tablets next year, Acer will also be developing a Meego tablet In the second half of 2011. It’s going to be a busy year for Acer and their tablets.
