Acer is planning to enter the smartphone market, with their first mobile phones to be shown at this months Mobile World Congress.
The Taiwan-based PC maker's smartphone push comes as competitors such as Dell plans to enter the handheld market to seek higher revenues, after witnessing the success of Apple's popular iPhone.Smartphones, high-end mobile phones that have many of the functions found traditionally on PCs, are the fastest growing segment of the cell phone industry. "Some 300 million units of personal computers are sold in the world each year, but there are 1.5 billion cell phones sold in the world each year," said Wang Tao-hsiung, Acer spokesman. "Acer wants to tap the middle ground between PCs and cell phones, like mobile internet devices." Acer will unveil its new smartphones at the Mobile World Congress beginning February 16 in Barcelona.
