Acer seems to be following in HTC’s stead with Windows Mobile rival HTC already having stated that they will balance their portfolio more evenly in the long-run and shifting strategy from being a large Windows Mobile OEM to a portfolio that will be more evenly distributed between Microsoft and Google’s Android. Acer has already launched one Android device this year, the Acer Liquid, which essentially has been a re-badge of the Windows Mobile neoTouch S200.

The company states that it will ship between eight and ten Android handsets in the coming year and will have a more evenly divided portfolio between the two operating systems. The firm should still be a Windows Mobile 7 launch partner.
