Acer jumps on all bandwagons at once in 2010, offering an application store, an E-reader, Chrome OS netbooks, and hints they are possibly working on a tablet.<p>An app store for Windows software seems a bit questionable, since Steam and the Microsoft e-store probably cover most people's software needs. Maybe a Linux-related app store, but that doesn't seem much more likely to succeed.<p>I have been happy with functionality and price of my Acer netbooks, so I look forward to their Chrome OS offerings.
