Acer Goes Android With The Acer Betouch E400
The beTouch family of smartphones from Acer gets its latest and most powerful member with the unveiling of the Acer beTouch E400 at the recent 2010 Mobile World Congress just ended.
It abandons the Windows Mobile OS that its older siblings use and now runs on the latest Android 2.1 Éclair, making it more competitive with other smartphones in the market than its E100 predecessor ever was. It is expected to ship in April in two color schemes – white with pearl red accents and ceramic white with soft-touch black. No pricing information is available at this time.
Together with a bevy of new smartphones, the Taiwan-based computer giant Acer puts into high gear its plans to expand its mobile phone business starting this year, after selling half a million units in its debut last April with a target of selling 3 million this year and thrice that in 2011.

Acer Goes Android With The Acer Betouch E400
Considered by Gartner as the world’s fastest growing computer maker and one of the giants in mobile computing, Taiwan’s Acer plans to blaze a similar path in its new mobile phone business it started last year.
Looking at its product, it seems headed on a collision course with compatriot HTC which is currently the world’s largest smartphone maker after the Symbian smartphone of Nokia.
If Acer can get into being more innovative, it just could very well do that. Unfortunately, the recent Mobile World Congress wasn’t inspiring any level of confidence that it can.
