MacDailyNews Take: iCal’ed with gusto.
Minihane reports, “Speaking to Digitimes, Lanci was in bullish mood. ‘Sales of iPad pushed forward very fast initially, but have slowed down in the past few weeks,’ he said. However, there’s no proof that the latter is the case, with Apple having sold around 7.5 million since its launch in April.”
MacDailyNews Take: Proof, who needs proof when you’re the head of a plastic junk assembler?
Minihane reports, “Warming to his theme, Lanci said, ‘We hope our tablet PCs can reach a global market share of 10-20% initially, and become the market leader in two to three years.’ That’s mighty ambitious seeing as Acer’s tablets aren’t even due to go on sale until April next year, by which point the iPad 2 will probably be on shelves.”

MacDailyNews Take: Classic. We can’t wait to revisit this one!
Me myself prefer table instead of tablet.
Specifically table dance!
Woooowwwww
Even in the announcement, they reveal why the will ultimately fail: they’re releasing both Android and Windows pads. This inability to choose an focus creates a fragmented market within the same vendor (Acer). If they lack the confidence to throw their full weight behind a single product, then they never will come close to winning.
I bought an iPad for my surgeon today, as a gift, as he saved my mom’s life, by removing her brain tumor successfully. He’s an iPhone user, so I’m sure he’ll like the iPad.
I think this article is all wrong.
I was at an airport yesterday and I distinctly heard Gianfranco Lanci say,”Don’t touch my junk”.
That’s Mighty Ambitious considering Apple doesn’t care about market share, per se, they care about PROFIT SHARE.
I’m sure Acer can pump out some $49 tablets just to get the unit market share crown.. Good job guys.
@Al…..good one!
I must have one. Now!!
Oh. I see. It’s not available.
I’ll just have to use this really terrible old iPad then.
Sounds like Ron Whatsisname from Real/Napster. You remember him? The guy with the donut in his mouth? I can’t remember the name of their MP3 player, but it was going to bury the iPod. BTW, how are they doing these days? Anybody know?………or care?
I checked behind him. Saw two shovels, biggest I’ve ever seen from these guys. He definitely needs the big ones with all this B.S. he’s pulling out of his ass. lol
the competition is good. I hope that one of these companies give apple a run for their money as they will need to loosen the grip they have on customers to compete. No company should require a persons credit card deets in order to put files on their device…. 1984 styleee.
It may also give you goons up a reality check
They have a name for the line of tablets. They will be called ‘Dodo’
Actually, they make nice hackintoshes.
Guess you gotta have dreams…no matter how deluded they might be. or perhaps for the Acer it is more a question of ambition far exceeding ability.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That guy made my day! The only thing Acer products are good for is PLASTIC RECYCLING HAHAHAHA!
MDN : WE can’t wait to revisit this one. How stupid can one man be? He should be fired just for making that statement! Geez ya think he’s related to Balmer?
In two years iPads will be two years better and Acer will still be catching up with yesterday’s iPads.
the day Acer makes anything that will overtake ummmmmm ANYTHING let alone an apple product, I’ll switch to Windows.
Acer had 10 years to put out a decent tablet: FAIL!
10 more months isn’t going to make their crapware any better than yet-another iPad ripoff POS.

As usual these stupid manufacturers just rush in to the space without a plan. They will end up fighting with each other over Market share with price and volume that will result in junk.
But as always. What ever the other players do, what Market share they get and even if they over take Apple in volume it does not matter. iPad will still be the device to beat and iPad will get the majority of the profits in this space.
