Taiwanese company Acer has traditionally been associated with Windows Mobile smartphones (actually it's been traditionally associated with netbooks and notebooks, smartphones being a relatively new thing for Acer), but now it's branching out into the Google phone game with its first Android based smartphone, the Acer A1 Liquid. Similar in design to the iPhone (though Acer is probably not unwise enough to think this would be its iPhone-killer), the Liquid has a 3.5" touchscreen on the face and 4 buttons below it, and a 5 megapixel digital camera (which is, admittedly, better than the iPhone's - even the iPhone 3GS).
After having just unveiled the Acer A1 Liquid last month, the company says it plans to ship the devices starting next week, showing that it's at least interesting in staking its share of the holiday shopping game (good thing - it's already Black Friday).
Acer says to look for about 10 new smartphones from them in 2010, with a balanced mix of WinMo and Android OS's.
