Acer Looks to Android to Boost Handset Sales
In an era where handset makers are venturing into PC production, we have the opposite effect going on with Acer.
Until now the company has relied largely on Microsoft's mobile Windows operating system to power its phones by that may soon change thanks to warm reception their Android-powered Liquid has received.
According to the company's own Aymar de Lencquesaing, Acer recognizes that "there is definitely momentum behind Android," and that "the pace is faster than most would have anticipated one year ago."
He went on to state that the company is poised to pump out 8 to 10 phones in 2010, with the lineup being much more balanced in terms of the amount of Windows Mobile vs. Android handsets being produced.
