Dates and prices for a bevy of new Android tablets have been leaked from an unnamed US retailer. PreCentral is only really interested in the HP Touchpad and a new 7-inch webOS tablet, the HP Opal, but also in the line-up are 10-inch slates from HTC, Dell, Acer and Toshiba, all due in June 2011.

There’s also a 7-inch Acer running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and expected to launch in April for $399. The remainder get Android 3.0 Honeycomb, with the HTC unpriced but Dell’s 10-inch model expected to be $499, Acer’s to be $449 and Toshiba’s to be $499.

The two Acer models are likely to be the Iconia Tab A100 and Iconia Tab A500, which we played with back at MWC 2011 in February. HTC has been tipped to be readying a 10-inch model for some time now, launching with Honeycomb out of the gate rather than Gingerbread like the HTC Flyer.

  1. Once Acer, Asus, MSI, and Toshiba start hitting the tablet market we will see some real price competition. Till then I think most high quality tablet vendors will try for the higher price range.

    • They’ve already got competition vis-a-vis, Apple. If they can’t beat the marks set there, sales will be sluggish, at best.

  2. Not everyone wants Apple. Some of us like a device where the battery is easy to change and you don’t need ITunes to transfer files via USB.
