Gianfranco Lanci, president of Acer, announced during the company’s investors’ conference in Taipei about the plans to release their first smartphone by the end of 2008 - or early next year.
The device will be based on Windows Mobile platform and it seems like the first of the many, as Acer expects their smartphones will make up as much as 10% of company’s revenue in the next few years. Having in mind the continued growth of smartphone market, this is probably a smart move on behalf of Acer.

Acer has announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire E-TEN, the Taiwan-based manufacturer of smart handheld devices for around nine billion Taiwan dollars (roughly £145 million).
The acquisition has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both E-TEN and Acer and is subject to standard closing conditions, including obtaining approval from Shareholders Meetings and the Governmental Regulators.
Acer says the acquisition of E-TEN, expected to close during the third quarter of 2008, is "in line" with their expansion strategy and follows the recent acquisition of Gateway and Packard Bell.
E-TEN will help Acer, who currently offers a range of PDAs, to "explore and develop entirely new solutions for mobile communication."
"This strategic transaction is yet another important milestone in Acer's long history of innovation" said J.T. Wang, chairman of Acer.
