Acer at MWC 2011: Smartphones, Tablets and Laptops

In this article I will touch upon all new models from Acer without many details and particular specifications.

Smartphones: Acer Liquid mini and beTouch E210

Both smartphones were announced at CES, but not everybody is aware of that. The first model - Acer Liquid mini is an accessible candybar smartphone. A 3.2" capacitive touchscreen of HVGA resolution is accompanied by a 5 MP camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which is pretty standard nowadays. The phone works on Android 2.2 with Qualcomm MSM7227 platform and a processor of 600 MHz.

You should be able to purchase the phone in March for around $375. The details are still preliminary. The smartphone is offered in several colors and has neat design. The handset is made of plastic as it is an accessible phone.

The smartphone beTouch 210 will be positioned as a business device. You know every manufacturer believes that a QWERTY device must target the business audience. The phone is really nice with a convenient keypad and large buttons.

Tablets: Acer ICONIA TAB A100, A500, W500
