Acer goes Liquid

Acer has launched the Liquid Glow smartphone. Based on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, it sports a 3.7-inch screen, a soft-touch casing and comes in fancily named colours such as Sakura Pink, Alpine White and Cat's-Eye Black. These smartphones come with the latest voice-input engine from Google, which, according to Acer, guarantees a continuous "open microphone" experience and streaming voice recognition. Sounds pretty familiar to us. The Acer Liquid Glow will be available in the UAE early summer.
