Acer Smartphone Invite

Acer has been talking about launching its own smartphone for quite some time now and now they’ve set a date for its launch.  The company sent out invitations yesterday to its press conference in Barcelona February 16th at the Mobile World Congress.  The invitation indicates that Acer’s president and CEO Gianfranco Lanci will be speaking, and that the company intends on launching its first smartphone.
