Acer Liquid (A1) Android-Based Handset To Run Snapdragon CPU At Just 768MHz

Labels: , , , , , , , ,


It looks like we've just got confirmation about the CPU speed of the Snapdragon in the Acer Liquid (A1) handset. Well, it'll be running Android 1.6 and will actually sport an underclocked 768MHz CPU. This definitely sucks, but if you're interested in the rest of the specs you can check out the picture above. I won't reiterate it.

Labels: , , , ,

50% Of Acer Handsets To Run Android In 2010, Their First One Launching This Year (The A1)

Labels: , , , , , , , , ,


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.

Donut Now Beside Android At Googleplex!

Labels: , ,

If you remember, a Cupcake arrived beside the Android back in April - signalling that it was on the way. Well, Android has a new friend and it's the Donut - a nice chocolate one with sprinkles. This doesn't really mean much, but the launch should be coming in the upcoming months.

Android Donut is Not Android 2.0 -- No Multitouch Support

Labels: , ,

Here's some weird news, an Android representative has just mentioned that "Donut" is not Android 2.0. He also went on to mention that Donut will not have multitouch - like we were all expecting. If you remember, Cupcake was scheduled to be Android 1.5, but it didn't end up being 1.5; it ended up leading to 1.5 though. What I'm trying to say is that Donut could lead to 2.0 - similar to how Cupcake led to 1.5. Understand? So, as of right now, we don't know what version Donut will be, but let's hope that somewhere down the line Android gets multitouch.

Android 2.0 "Donut" Will Have Multitouch, Gestures, and Performance Tweaking

Labels: , ,

Mmm, sprinkly donuts. Android 2.0 aka Donut could be hitting Android devices by the end of the Summer, if earlier rumours stay true. What also makes this interesting is that Sony Ericsson's first Android device - quite possibly the XPERIA X3 - will be utilizing it. So what could be in store with Android 2.0 Donut? Take a look at the list below, courtesy of Phandroid.

  • multitouch
  • gestures
  • cdma
  • search integrated into everything
  • wpa enterprise
  • vpn support
  • automated backups
  • tons of performance tweaking

Multitouch! Yes, finally Android will have multitouch support, which is amazing. Performance tweaking definitely means that they're touching Android up to run a bit smoother and faster. I can't wait, this news pushes the XPERIA X3 to the top of my phone list, for sure.

Android "Donut" To Be Available Before the End of Summer?

Labels: , , , ,

Phone Arena think so. "Donut" is going to be Android 2.0 and apparently some software developers are already preparing their apps to run on the Android 2.0 SDK. So, could "Donut" be available before the Summer ends? It's possible. It could be around the same date the HTC Hero gets released to the US aka probably AT&T. Like the Google Chrome OS - only time will well.

Labels: , , ,

Here's another supposed build of the upcoming "Donut" build for Android. It's not confirmed yet, so it could be an HTC skin, according to Engadget. Take a look at the video for yourself. It looks like a good home screen with its widgets and all. It reminds me of the Nokia N97, but not really.
