Acer seems to be at little amuse when it comes to getting their devices at sale in the international markets. The Iconia B1 tab that they recently announces at CES 2013 is already set to sell in India for about Rs. 7,999 . This price-point is very competitive at the moment as this range is totally under populted with tablet devices. Acer has surely made a smart move by entering at a very reasonable price slot but lets see what your bucks could get you. It packs a noble 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with a resolution of 1024*600 at 7 inches. It is available in an 8 GB variant with expansion upto 32 GB. It’s design is innovative with a triangular grip in one corner to help improve grip as the company states.
It’s features are as follows:
- Android Jelly Bean (4.1)

- 7-inch diagonal WSVGA capacitive multitouch screen with 1024 x 600 resolution display
