Acer has thrown in it’s hat, announcing that it too will have it’s own Android phone by as soon as Fall / September this year.

Very little is known about the Acer A1, except that it’ll have a touchscreen. Not really much to rejoice about.

Given Acer’s ability to adapt and succeed in new markets such as the netbook space, I have an inkling that Acer may just be a force to watch out for as it sets its sights on smartphones. Will Acer pleasantly surprise us? Time will tell.

It seems that this toe-dipping exercise may be the start of something bigger with company president, Gianfranco Lanci predicting that smartphones may be responsible for up to 10% of Acer’s revenue in the future.
