Acer not interested in making iPad-like product

Acer Taiwan’s Prez Scott Lin confirmed that they have no plans of making a product to compete with Apple’s iPad. Lin says that although Acer can make a similar competing product but “such a product does not fit into Acer’s business model.”

Lin pointed out that churning out a device similar to iPad could fail since few or no companies have an ecosystem as large as iTunes to back the device.

When asked about the possible threat to netbooks, Lin said both netbooks and iPad are targeted completely towards different consumer groups.
