At the launch at CES, the Chief Marketing Officer of the company Mr. Rajendran (showing his conviction in the tablet) says to the media that he is sure Acer’s Iconia B1 will ride the tablet-market wave very easily and is confident about the tablet being the best wholesome tablet experience so far, given the price.
So far Micromax has been ruling the budget tablet segment, as the last year sales record clearly show. This is the first time any global leader has decided to touch this cash cow segment.
