Acer would unveil its range of tablet personal computers (PCs), compatible to both 2G and 3G platforms, in the domestic market in July. <\/p>\n
The company is currently in the process of appointing distributors for the pan-India launch. The IT hardware maker had already \u201csuccessfully test marketed\u201d its tablets in select urban centres.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe test marketed our tablets in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore for two months selling nearly 20,000 units,\u201d Acer Managing Director Harish K Kohli told Business Standard here. These tablets carried sub-Rs 10,000 price tags.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have tied up with one distributor and two more distributors would be on board before the planned launch in the first week of July 2013,\u201d Kohli informed. <\/p>\n
He was in town to launch Acer\u2019s first company-operated service lounge in Lucknow and the fourth in country; other three being at Delhi, Bangalore and Pune. <\/p>\n
During the current calendar year, 6 more lounges would be opened at Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Kochi. <\/p>\n
These would complement its existing service network. \u201cAlmost 75% of the tablets are sold through the telecom channel vis-\u00e0-vis the IT channel. <\/p>\n
Since, Acer products are basically distributed through the IT channel, we would also be collaborating with telecom companies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Acer is readying to bid for the free tablet distribution scheme of the Akhilesh Yadav government. <\/p>\n
Fulfilling the pre-poll promise of the ruling Samajwadi Party, the government had announced it will provide free tablets to all the students passing Xth standard.<\/p>\n
Until now, the IT manufacturers had not shown keenness towards the scheme and had not even provided their samples to the government for testing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
