宏碁明年拟推售价99美元的平板电脑

Acer Inc. is planning to launch an Android tablet priced around US$99 early next year, a person with direct knowledge of the project, said.

据知情人士说，宏碁股份有限公司(Acer Inc.)计划明年年初推出一款售价在99美元左右的安卓(Android)平板电脑。

The world's fourth-largest PC maker by shipments hopes to be the first big-brand company to launch a tablet priced to jostle with Chinese white-box tablet makers for consumers in developing countries.

以出货量计，宏碁是全球第四大个人电脑制造商，该公司希望成为第一家推出低价平板电脑的大品牌公司，从而与中国白牌平板电脑制造商争夺发展中国家的消费者。

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.

这款名为Iconia B1的平板电脑屏幕大小为七英寸，分辨率为1024×600，配备了1.2GHz双核处理器，规格与亚马逊的Kindle Fire以及巴诺书店(Barnes & Noble Inc.)的Nook Color差不多。但这名知情人士说，宏碁计划把这款平板电脑的价格定在99美元左右，低于上述畅销平板电脑139美元的售价。宏?将按照国别确定在各国的最终售价。
