Acer has already released a tablet and may also have plans to release a smartphone or two, but the latest thing up Acer’s sleeve is the company’s plans to make tablets, along with smartphones, a key in the company. Acer is planning to launch a business unit for tablets and smartphones under the Acer brand.
The new unit will be doing the research and development of the new products. Acer, who appears to be trying to give the brand a makeover, has not released much info beyond the fact that a new business unit is being established.
Here is what the president of Acer, Jim Wong, had to say:
Touch/mobile devices open up a host of new opportunities. They form Acer’s new business and growth engine for the future. To focus on this market, we saw the need to allocate sufficient resources, and devise a new management structure different from the PC business specifically for this line of business
