Acer has unveiled a triumvirate of new tablets this week, showcasing 7- and 10-inch Android tablets and a 10-inch Windows 7 tablet.

The computing company took to the stage in New York to show off its new tablet range, while also delivering news of its dualscreen tablet — the Acer Iconia.

The smallest tablet announced is the 7-inch Android device. The screen boasts a resolution of 1280 x 800, is 16:10 and has full touch capabilities.

It has a front-facing camera and a dual-core processor. This means that Adobe Flash 10.1 is supported.

This is topped off with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Acer 7-inch tablet and Acer 10-inch tablet have a UK release date of April 2011, which means it's likely they'll be running Android 3.0. The 10.1-inch Windows tablet has a UK release date of February 2011.
