Acer seems set to launch the Iconia One 7 (B1-730HD) in the Indian market, as the tablet is up for purchase via a third-party online retailer at Rs. 8,499 (MRP Rs. 9,199) ahead of an official announcement.

Acer had first introduced the Iconia One 7 tablet in April at its 'a touch more connected' event in New York, along with the Iconia Tab 7 tablets that were introduced in two models - A1-713HD and A1-713. Notably, the Iconia One 7 tablet isn't yet listed on the Acer India website.
