Black Friday 2009
Black Friday is almost here! Gadgetell's got you covered with all the latest news on who's offering the best deals. Dangerous crowds? You're on your own.
Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
No, this is not what Acer has up its sleeve for introduction in Barcelona on February 16th. But I bet it is close. The reasons why are rather simple.
Glofiish
Acer dropped some major cash to pick up this brand and their tech. Then they set 500 staffers to the task of creating smartphones. I suspect given the pretty good looking phones Gloffish was able to put out, Acer will offer something attractive.
Windows Mobile
This is opening day for the GSMA Mobile World Congress and with Windows Mobile expected to “wow” us with 6.5, the spot light will be on Acer. I think of it as pay back for all those Acer Aspires out there running XP. Glofiish focused on Windows Mobile phones and we have every reason to believe that Acer will not stray from this course.
The iPhone had been ringing everyone’s bell for over six months at the time of the Glofiish purchase, so we could see a quite modern take on their success.
Think Europe and Asia
It has been said that Acer is building for Europe and Asia with this introduction of new products. Those of us in the States will have to wait until Acer gets the courage to try this marketing. We are are a tough nut to crack, just ask Nokia.
The top of the line phone will, I believe be a touch screen to cope with Chinese characters. The others will predictably be QWERTY sliders, probably similar in design to the image above.
