CNETAnalysis: The Acer Iconia A1-810 has managed to creep up on the technology world and quietly enter the fray among the likes of the iPad mini , Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD . It’s a 7.9-inch offering, putting it in direct competition with Apple’s pint-sized tablet, although the quoted €199 (around £169/$259/AU$249) price tag on French site Rue du Commerce is significantly lower than the mini. According to the product listing, the Iconia A1-810 is packing a screen with a 1024×768 resolution, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 5MP rear camera, 0.3MP front camera and runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean . Not official just yet It’s not quite as slender as the impossibly-thin iPad mini though, with the Acer Iconia A1-810 apparently measuring 208.7 x 145.7 x 10.5 mm and weighing in at 460g – compared to the mini’s 200 x 134.7 x 7.2 mm and 308g vital statistics. We contacted Acer about the Iconia A1-810 and a spokesperson told us, “There is currently no official release that has been issued for the A1-810.” The same site also suggests the Iconia A1-810 will begin to ship in June but we won’t know for sure until we hear something official from Acer.
