quite vocal about how they feel that the Microsoft Surface is a bad move that might cause real problems for its competition going forward. I have a solution for you Acer, stop whining and start designing. I’m not the first person to have said this, obviously– but it does seem that Acer is finally doing just that. The company has confirmed they are still developing Windows RT devices but that they are carefully watching Windows RT and how aggressive Surface is in that space before moving forward. In the meantime, they are going back to the drawing board and putting more R&D efforts into creating potentially great RT products when they do launch around Q2 of 2013. This is what we want to hear. If you don’t like the Surface, give us something better. Can they pull it off? If we take a look at Acer’s track record it doesn’t look good. Acer has a history of creating products that are quite affordable but at the same time cut a few corners when it comes to overall build quality and design. IF (and that’s a big if) Acer can give us something cheaper than the Surface but still keep build quality high, they might have a chance to win over some fans in the Windows RT world, though. Is Acer being wise with their decision to go back to the drawing board and wait, or are they missing out on the opportunity to establish itself in RT tablet world? [ source ]]]>

By the time Acer release a RT device the Surface would have gone down in price by then so they will have to compete with the price also. From my experiance of Acer build quality and even there software they load on comptuter/laptops is of poor quality (HP software is just as bad but atleast there hardware seems to be good quality).
As of now the devices im waiting for is the Surface Pro and Nokia 920.
