Acer Introduces Its First Attempt in the Android Market
A year has almost passed since Acer made successful entry in the zone of cell phone manufacturing. In the second year of the company’s existence in the industry, we can expect a mixed variety of devices, supporting both Windows Mobile and Android platforms, to be released in the market. And here we talk about the company’s first Android device, coming up with the name of Acer Liquid.
Running in Android 1.6, Acer Liquid packs some interesting features in the form of a Snapdragon CPU, a 5 MP camera and a 3.5 inch touch screen display with WVGA resolution. There is support for micro SD card to allow the memory expansion of up to 32 GB. Available in three colors, namely black, white and red, the cell phone offers connectivity support through HSDPA, at 7.2 Mbps, and HSUPA, at 2.0 Mbps. In addition, there is support for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and mini USB port.
In terms of the hardware components, the handset is quite similar to Acer neoTouch. Apart from Liquid, the company also aims at launching other Android based devices in the few days to come. However, the manufacturer follows the path of Apple to release few, but quality handsets. Needless to say, Apple followed the policy successfully and we expect Acer to succeed as well. Hence, the 6-7% of the smart phone market share can be grabbed by Acer in a couple of years.
Coming back to Acer Liquid, the device is traveling the whole world and is expected to hit a store near you very soon.
