The newspaper states that “The A1, equipped with a touch screen, is among four handset models that Acer plans to debut that month, [the person said*], asking not to be identified because he’s not authorized to comment on the matter. Henry Wang, a spokesman at Taipei-based Acer, declined to comment. Marsha Wang, a spokesman at Google in Beijing, declined to immediately comment.”

A few matters for this information, the details are according to an unknown source. The Philippine Business Mirror based in Taiwan references the handset to be known as the ‘A1′. This model will be one of four Acer handsets that will make their debut in September where other reports suggest December.

* The ‘person’ is not named.

    And you are sure of this because? how on earth did that fit on the OPs thread?
  9. As if Acer computers aren't crappy enough, now they need to make phones?

    Oh, and singular nouns go with singular verbs - like "Acer is" not "Acer are" unless you're in England.
  10. That phone does look pretty neat, I'm wondering if that's the phone that will be released as the A1.

    And is Acer a collective noun therefore plural?
  11. I think that is a picture of the C1, otherwise not the android phone, that is what was posted on Engadget.

    You seriously couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic??? ROFL
  13. BTW, I also like how this story was obviously lifted from Engadget, yet some obscure phillipine newspaper was cited as the source. As if anyone here actually reads that paper.
