Even though WinMo 6.5 is on the way, it looks like Acer will be pulling an HTC and is shooting for a 50% Android handset launch next year (2010). This is coming from DigiTimes, so just take it with a grain of salt. At this point it looks like Android could be the only mobile OS that has a chance of taking down the iPhone OS - at least that's what I think. That is, unless WinMo 6.5 comes out as a huge success, which it should be.
In related news, Acer is planning to launch their first Android-based handset this year, the Acer A1. This handset will have: a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a Qualcomm 8250 768MHz CPU, GPS support, a 5MP camera, and supposedly Android 2.0 "Donut" - even though we know "Donut" is version 1.6.
