Acer Liquid mixes Snapdragon and Android 1.6 'donut' for a movable feast

Hey, what do you know, Acer just kicked out its first Android handset into the mystical kingdom of donuts and Snapdragons. Liquid, a rebranded (and slightly restyled) A1, brings a 800 x 480 WVGA capacitive touchscreen upon which you'll watch Android 1.6 ride that peppy Snapdragon processor. It's presumably tuned to 1GHz (or higher) and not 768MHz as listed on the eXpansys Germany spec-sheet -- a trick that'll make this the fastest Android handset on the planet. Of course, what would Android be without some tweaking? Acer promises a bevy of unique features such as improved power management, a new UI with tight entertainment and web integration, geo-tagging, a "Spinlets" application for access to streaming video and music, and full address book integration with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other social media houses. Unfortunately, that's all the detail that Acer's willing to spill at the moment; dates, real specs, and prices when we get 'em.

Oh.. gimme. I am waiting for a snapdragon 3.8"+ (4" please) with a tegra, unless the SnapD can work for it better. Wifi-n... we really need bigger batteries in these, too. This is what I am waiting to replace my G1 with.

***drool***
Sadly, I know something this cool will never be picked up by Verizon, to whom I am indentured for the foreseeable future.

I love my htc hero to death, but if an American carrier were to release a version of this (i.e. Sprint), i'd be all over this.

Hoping for more details (release date and price) to come out soon though, this has me very interested regardless.

This is good news. I just wish it was nice as looking as the HTC HD2.
