Intel and Acer announced a new Atom-powered Android smartphone at an event in Thailand. Dubbed Acer Liquid C1, the new device uses Intel’s latest mobile Intel Atom Z2420 chipset (codenamed Lexington) clocked at 1.2GHz, which was only recently announced at CES. In addition, it also comes with a 4.3-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) screen and 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (rather than Jelly Bean) is running the show and we’re really not sure whether the Android 4.1 update will ever be released. As far as I can tell, this phone should be able to handle it, though you never know.
When it comes to the price, the Liquid C1 will go for 9,990 baht, which translates into some $335. Initially it will be available in Thailand, and later on in other South Asian countries. We don’t know whether it will ever be released in the West, though… and honestly, we’re not craving for it that much.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
