Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci announced a handful of new touch-focused products--as well as a cloud content delivery service due out next year--at a Manhattan press event on Tuesday. The focus was on home sharing as well as on devices that did a better job consuming media, and to that end a variety of tabletlike computing devices took center stage.

Iconia dual-screen laptop
Perhaps the most eye-catching product Acer unveiled was the Iconia. The product has a laptop design, but boasts dual 14-inch touch screens--one of which can revert to a soft keyboard as needed. Acer is targeting a December 2010 release date, but no pricing was announced.
A pop-up virtual keyboard and an interactive icon touch wheel seemed like promising UI wrinkles, but like all Windows 7 touch devices, we have questions as to how easy to use touch will be and on which software it will be supported. Much like Toshiba's Libretto, at least the concept looks novel.
