Looks like Acer will be joining the mobile Android market with a lot more mobile phones starting in 2010. Acer has already entered the mobile market this year with 10 devices, 9 running Windows Mobile OS and now an Android. Now they have plans to start building phones using the Android mobile OS. “There is definitely momentum behind Android. The pace is faster than most would have anticipated one year ago,”. Here is an article by Engadget that goes more into detail about the Acer Liquid, Acer’s Android phone. I talked about Dell entering the mobile market with their first model in China just recently, looks like the larger computer companies are all starting to get into the mobile markets. I wonder if we will see IBM enter the race, I haven’t heard anything, I’m just saying it would be something to see that! – Greg

So China Mobile has put out specs for the new Dell Mini 3i Android phone. This will be a first for not only Dell creating a cell phone, but in the near future the first for AT&T to have an Android phone on their network, that is when it finally comes to the US. I think the phone looks very slick and has a lot of nice features. My 2 complaints is that it doesn’t have a slide-out keyboard and the camera is only 3megapixel. I have read that the new Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 could end up on AT&T, but at about $500 Ericsson can kiss my butt. Here are the specs on the Dell Mini 3i as listed on China Mobile. Where do they get all those wonderful toys? -Greg

The Mini 3i, in Red Passion and Oiled Bronze colors, will begin arriving across China later this month.
