The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Acer is to acquire Gateway for $710 million.
In terms of the Tablet PC market this is going to be very interesting to watch. Acer was an early Tablet PC OEM and sometimes appeared to struggle in terms of gaining a strong foothold in Tablet sales. Gateway, on the other hand, has done quite well--particularly in the education sector. I hope Acer sees this as an opportunity to continue to grow in the Tablet space. I imagine for the near term, there won't be much change, but we'll have to see.
