Acer today announced a new Android tablet at a press event in New York. Dubbed as Iconia A1, the tablet will be the company’s competitor to Apple iPad Mini. According to Acer, Iconia A1 will be priced starting $169.99, when it goes on sale next month in the United States.

The tablet features a 7.9-inch IPS display with 1024x768p resolution and is powered by 1.2GHz Mediatek quad-core processor. Acer Iconia A1 runs on Android 4.2. You can check out detailed specifications at the end of the report.
