Rumor has it that ASUS won’t be the only company with a sliding Android tablet this holiday season – DigiTimes claims to have it on good authority that Acer will be launching its own 10.1-inch slate with a peekaboo QWERTY stashed behind the screen, in order to rival Asus. Asus is hoping that its sliding Android tablet will have the similar success that its Transformer tablet has.

The ARM-powered device is reportedly being manufactured by Compal, but beyond that your guess is as good as ours. By the time it lands we should be getting our first taste of Ice Cream Sandwich, but it’s a pretty safe bet if this unnamed device does ship later this year, it’ll do so with Honeycomb on board.
