Acer officially launched the Iconia Tab A110 in Switzerland. The device is pre-installed with latest Android software, Jelly Bean, a notch above the Ice Cream Sandwich-running Amazon Kindle Fire HD. The Tab A110 also has a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip, which makes it at par with the Google Nexus 7. The A110 also boasts of a microSD and micro HDMI slots missing in the Nexus 7. The Acer tablet though just has a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution on its seven-inch screen, compared to the 1280 x 800 pixel display of the two rival Android tablets. Acer has not provided details on availability and pricing, which could determine the tablet's viability in a crowded market.
