Shufflegazine recently attended a press event and was witness to Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci's unexpected unveiling of a 7-inch Android tablet. Resembling an e-book reader due to the portrait orientation and hardware keyboard, the tiny Acer does indeed feature a color touchscreen, but not much is known beyond that. Lanci wouldn't disclose any other specs or even a price, but did hint at an embedded 3G module, which could make it attractive for carriers.
Due sometime in Q4 2010, the Acer tablet could find itself in a dogfight for attention by that time, as companies scramble to see who will be the second-place Pepsi to Apple's Coca-Cola.
