Fresh from Acer's press conference today in New York, here are the first pictures of its new Iconia tablet device. This is an odd contraption that uses two 14in capacitive multi-touch LED-backlit screens, each running at 1366 by 768 resolution and made from 'Gorilla Glass' (the stuff on the iPhone 4).
It runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and is powered by a range of Core i5 CPUs. I've posted full specs from the press release below.
