No sooner did news of PC maker Dell's intentions to hop into the smartphone game break, another PC builder has announced plans to adapt to the slumping economy (and struggling PC sales) by producing smartphones.
Taiwan-based PC maker Acer's smartphone push comes to seek higher revenues after witnessing the success of Apple's popular iPhone and RIM's Blackberry line.
Some 300 million units of personal computers are sold in the world each year, but there are 1.5 billion cell phones sold in the world each year," said Wang Tao-hsiung, Acer spokesman. "Acer wants to tap the middle ground between PCs and cell phones, like mobile internet devices."
Acer will unveil its new smartphones at the Mobile World Congress beginning February 16 in Barcelona.

I have read about it. I ‘m really happy to see more smartphones in the markt.In fact I have a Dell pc at home and very satisphyed with its features . Currently I don’t have a smartphone but I would like to have one and Sadly the ipohne are too expensive.I have also the habit to have devices with the same brand, so I will not hesitate to buy a Dell Smartphone.
An ex-Motorola developper is working on the project, I hope It will not be as bad as motorola phones.
