Acer also revealed a 10.1-inch tablet running Windows 7. Details on this are still a little slim, but we do know that will run some kind of AMD processor, as well as have a front-facing and rear camera, both of which will be 1.3 MP. It will also include WiFi and 3G.

The device still doesn’t have a name or a price tag slapped on, buy Acer says we should see this tablet hit store shelves in February 2011.
