Acer plans to launch four smartphones, the A1, C1/E1, F1 and L1, at the end of September and in the fourth quarter of this year, outsourcing the production to Taiwan-based Compal Communications and Inventec Appliances, according to sources at Taiwan handset component suppliers.
The A1 is an Android-powered model, while the other three are based on Windows Mobile platform, the sources noted. The Acer A1 Android will be the PC type’s first effort at a Google–friendly phone, having signed up for the Big G’s Open Handset Alliance earlier this year.
Today’s tattle has Acer launching its A1, C1/E1, F1, and L1 smartphones “at the end of September and in the fourth quarter” – that a four-month spread. Of these, the F1 running WinMo 6.5 (pictured above) on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform and A1 running Android are undoubtedly the most interesting. It’s just rumor but it does corroborate the hushed September whispers already heard. We will definitely provide updates once we get a hold of these interesting developments.
