Acer plans to release a Windows RT tablet this year as it looks to aggressively expand its lineup of mobile devices, including smartphones.



From Computerworld:

The PC maker will be releasing mobile products as the PC market stagnates, and Windows RT will be part of its product line, said Oliver Ahrens, president of Europe, Middle East and Africa operations, during an interview at Mobile World Congress.

Ahrens did not provide a specific release date for the Windows RT tablet, but said that work still needs to be done with the usability of the OS. Acer sees potential value, but Microsoft has to put in more effort on making the OS appealing to consumers.
