Acer demos 7" Android tablet – complete with QWERTY keyboard

Gianfranco Lanci, the CEO of Acer, took to the stage earlier today to show off a few new Acer products – the most exciting of which was a 7″ Android-powered tablet that fits a physical keyboard beneath its screen in a very glamorous-looking portrait-orientation format.

As crazy as that sounds, many users are still keen on the reliable old QWERTY keyboard format – if this is priced sensibly when it arrives (in “Q4″) it could do some serious business.

Here’s Gianfranco showing the Acer tablet off to the crowd:

Looks very nice indeed. Hopefully Acer will soon send out some proper product shots of this prototype unit, as we suspect this kind of QWERTY combo-tablet could well get a lot of people very, very excited.
