Acer Liquid: The Solid Android






The highly anticipitated Acer Liquid A1 has been recently released. After reading a couple of posts about it i realized that even though it is said it runs a 1GHz Snapdragon it's been under-clocked to 768MHz. It still has its original User Experience the Google Android 1.6 roots and it also has a nemoPlayer for multimedia files, DataViz for Microsoft Exchange support, and the Spinlets music streaming service. They also modified the clock and the task manager which now includes a preview of open apps. So all in all Acer managed to release this breakthrough product quicker and cheaper than anyone could have predicted. The Acer Liquid A1 price is only 380 euros or around 570 dollars.
