PHONE MAKER Acer is planning between eight and ten new smartphones in 2010.

According to DigiTimes most of Acer's phones are likely to ship with Android rather than Windows Mobile.

Acer is planning to outsource the production of three Android-based smartphones to Foxconn and use ST-Ericsson PNX6719 3G chipset solutions for the entry-level segment.

The low-end Windows Mobile based gear will be made by Inventec. Acer is already committed to bunging Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip into its phones in the mid-range to high-end segments while sub-contracting the production of the handsets to Compal.

Digitimes thinks Acer is also considering moving to Qualcomm's Brew Mobile Platform in a bid to offer inexpensive models to compete with HTC and also to attract more interest from telecom carriers. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
