Nagy | February 13, 2012 3:15 AMRead OnThe Acer Iconia Tab A200 -- which is available since last month at Best Buy for a fair price -- is reportedly getting update notifications and the new over-the-air update seems to bring Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich to the tablet. The new version numbers are allegedly as follows: 2.6.39.4+ for Kernel, Acer_AV401_A200_1.0.019.00_PA_CUS1 for build number and Acer_AV041_A200_RV01RC02_PA_CUS1 for Image version. Not all users seem to receive the update though; you might need to manually check for its existence and keep your fingers crossed. According to reports, the version which is rolling ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 10, 2012 4:32 PMRead OnWhen it came to the CES last month, Acer was into tablets in a big way; we saw the company embracing quad-core processors with both its Iconia Tab A510 and A700 models. Now we're wondering, as we are for so many other companies, just which products Acer might have held-off on showing at CES in order to introduce them at the Mobile World Congress. One such Acer model has just broken cover, with the company revealing plans to show-off its CloudMobile Android handset. Acer was forced to spill the beans on the CloudMobile in advance of MWC thanks to the phone winning an iF award for ...

Nagy | January 26, 2012 7:01 AMRead OnThis year's CES saw Acer showing off its upcoming Iconia Tab A700 tablet, powered by nVidia's quad-core Tegra 3 SoC clocking at 1.3GHz, and sporting a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. According to reports, the tablet will go for 549 (around $725) in Europe for the 16GB variant and 749 (roughly $985) for the 64GB version. We've recently also heard that the Acer Iconia Tab A510 will be coming to Europe in April for 500 with specs more or less the same as the A700 above. If you have to have the A510 you can grab it in April or you could wait for the A710 ...

Acer didn't show off the Iconia Tab A510 at CES -- they were kind of busy with the Iconia Tab A700 -- but the tablet was on display at nVidia's booth. In an event preceding the upcoming CeBIT in Germany, Acer showed off the Iconia Tab A510. It will be a 10.1-inch tablet going for 500 in Europe once it lands in April and, aside from the nVidia Tegra 3 SoC, it reportedly packs 1GB of RAM and comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB internal storage flavors.

by Stephen Schenck | November 28, 2011 5:47 PMRead OnAcer just delivered its first Windows Phone device, the Allegro, but it's been a little while since we heard about the company's efforts in the world of Android. Acer just announced its Gingerbread-running Liquid Express for a European release, and while it may be quite the low-end piece of hardware by today's standards, it's significant in representing Acer's first model with NFC support, a feature the company has said will be present in all its future Androids from this point out. From a 3.5-inch screen, to an 800MHz processor, it's no surprise why we're so underwhelmed by the majority ...

by Stephen Schenck | November 24, 2011 1:59 PMRead OnAcer's getting its feet wet in the Windows Phone market with the release of its Allegro, the company's first such smartphone. We had been expecting the phone to launch in early December; at least, that's when retailers had been indicating that they expected to be able to begin sales. While some are still indicating that they won't get the phone until next month, we're now seeing the first signs of the Allegro becoming available just a little bit early. French site Rue du Commerce indicates that it currently has the Acer Allegro in-stock and ready for you to buy. The price is a little ...

by Anton D. Nagy | October 11, 2011 1:19 PMRead OnGianfranco Lanci, CEO for Acer, has confirmed in a recent interview that the company is working on Windows Phone 7, without mentioning a time frame, availability or other information though. Gianfranco Lanci declared that Windows Phone limitations in the past together with user experience were the main reasons they've switched to the Android platform but taking a look at Windows Phone 7 today, Acer sees "the same opportunity you can see on Android in terms of customization". We're sure he meant user experience and wanted to emphasize on the freedom of creating the device your own by taking ...

by Stephen Schenck | October 11, 2011 1:19 PMRead OnAt last week's Windows Phone 7 event, Microsoft announced several new companies that would be releasing smartphones running its OS. In addition to the manufacturers that produced the first wave of WP7 devices (and with Dell oddly absent), Microsoft added Acer, Fujitsu, ZTE, and of course Nokia to the mix. At the COMPUTEX expo just starting up in Taipei, Acer has revealed its first Windows Phone entry, the W4. As a Windows Phone 7 smartphone, with Microsoft's chassis specs to conform to, there's little surprising about the W4's hardware capabilities. The smartphone will run a Qualcomm ...

by Anton D. Nagy | October 11, 2011 1:18 PMRead OnAcer was accepted as an official Windows Phone OEM together with Fujitsu and ZTE at the time when Windows Phone Mango was announced and now the manufacturer is reportedly making its first device running the Redmond platform public. The Acer Allegro (you might know it as the W4) will land in Europe before Christmas and will be priced around EUR 299 (around $410) unlocked. From the W4 days we remember that the phone will be powered by a Qualcomm MSM8255 chip at 1GHz and have a 3.6-inch WVGA display, five-megapixel camera with auto-focus and 8GB internal storage. The specs are those of any ...

by Adam Z. Lein | August 19, 2011 5:14 PMRead OnThe next generation of the Windows Phone operating system has been released to manufacturing and that means manufacturers are now hard at work at fitting the new OS on new hardware devices that we can expect to see released later this year. We've already seen a few tastes from Samsung, Acer, ZTE, and Toshiba-Fujitsu at WPC as well as a few other leaks. I'm guessing most of the new devices will have faster single-core processors as well as some dedicated graphics processing units. HTC's devices are expected to have 1.5Ghz Qualcomm MSM 8655 CPUs and screen sizes ranging from 3.8 to 4.7 ...
