Acer rolls out Iconia Series

Acer, one of the largest technology companies in the world, at a hotel in the capital officially launched its Iconia Series in the Bangladeshi market.
With an innovative approach to personal computing the Iconia series offers a range of easy to use devices that include tablets, touchbook and smartphone.
Tablets were launched with a new concept device set to add a brand new tablet experience for highly intuitive all-point multi-touch functionality, which means users can navigate seamlessly using all their fingers. The new range of tablets will be made available across Bangladesh through its authorised distributor, Executive Technologies Limited.
Acer introduced the full capacitive Acer Iconia Tab A500 and W500 on Android Honeycomb 3.0 and Windows 7 platform.
The 10.1-inch fully capacitive touchscreen ensures an optimal on-screen experience.
During the launch S Rajendran, chief marketing officer Acer India said "Acer offers an impressive range of high quality personal computing devices to its consumers. With a first mover advantage on our Android 3.0 Operating System, we are confident to address the rapidly growing consumer IT segment in Bangladesh."
Although the Iconia dual-screen notebook was available in the market, it was also part of Iconia Series launch.
The 14-inch notebook is powered by Intel Core i5 processor with Windows 7 OS and features high-definition widescreen LED backlit LCD screen.
It features a unique Acer Ring Control Interface. The Acer Ring appears simply by placing five fingers on the screen. The Ring also provides fast access to favourite applications and features. The dual-screen touchbook won this year's prestigious "Last Gadget Standing" award at International Consumer Electronics Show CES.
Acer also launched its Iconia A100, a 7-inch Android tablet and Iconia Smart A300, a 4.8-inch smartphone on Android Gingerbread 2.3 OS with 8 megapixel camera.
The Iconia tablets are preloaded with a wealth of touch applications designed specifically for easy navigation and seamless experience. The series includes three new features: SocialJogger, MyJournal and Scrapbook.
"As authorised distributors for the Iconia series in Bangladesh, we will represent and work together with Acer to expand our retail foot prints across the nation. We believe our association with Acer will bring a new dimension to our current portfolio and help us deliver through our extensive distribution network." said Salman Ali Khan, deputy general manager, Executive Technologies Limited.
Prior to the launching event S Rajendran said the company was growing in Bangladesh steadily and in a measured manner.
In order to serve its consumers best, Acer already has 12 (9 in Dhaka, 2 in Chittagong and 1 in Sylhet) retail outlets since its inception and by the end of the year there will be four more.
But Acer believes in larger geographical coverage, Rajendran said. And the company has plans to set up channel based retail outlets in other parts of the country.
The company also wants to have support centres with the outlets.
Without giving much detail Rajendran said Acer is going to make stronger participation in few government projects as Acer is committed to Digital Bangladesh initiatives.
