Acer Liquid handled, evaluated, ‘not too shabby’

Looks like quite a few folks have got their hands on the Acer Liquid as of late, and lucky for us they’ve been rather loose-lipped with their thoughts on the subject. As suspected, the handset is running a 1GHz Snapdragon that’s been under-clocked to 768MHz. And it looks like Acer didn’t go crazy with the User Experience either, pretty much staying true to its Google Android 1.6 roots, albeit with a number of additions, including: social networking integration (Facebook and Flickr contacts and photo sharing), nemoPlayer for multimedia files, DataViz for Microsoft Exchange support, and the Spinlets music streaming service. In addition, Acer has redesigned some of the widgets, including the clock and the task manager, which now includes a preview of open apps. All-in-all, it seems to be a pretty solid Android handset with a few useful additions — but as always, the verdict is out until we get our hands on one. In the meantime, hit up the read links below for a generous helping of screenshots, hands-on pics, and impressions.

    Since Eric Schmidt made the rather bold proclamation that "most" new TVs would have Google TV embedded by summer 2012, we've all been looking forward to something "big" from Mountain View. Well, in the event you can believe the services' Facebook page, "big announcements" are only what we are able to expect Monday. A post on Google TV's profile leaves a great deal to the imagination,… »

Within the 2001 movie Zoolander, the title character played by Ben Stiller uses a humorously diminutive flip phone in the direction of the dimensions of a Bluetooth headset than the StarTAC it parodies.
