Unfortunately, my visit to the Acer stand at CeBIT returned very little in the way of ultra mobile PC or MID news but a press release made during the week reveals that there will be news later in the year. Here are a couple of excerpts from the announcement of the takeover of E-Ten.
“The worldwide smart phone market is estimated to grow by more than 30% by 2011 inch, added Gianfranco Lanci, President of Acer Inc. “Acer will enhance the competitiveness in the ultra mobile segment, by combining PC and communication technologies inch.
Sounds good!
The acquisition of E-TEN will allow Acer to play a key role in the development of the dynamic, fast-evolving market of smart handheld devices as well as ultra mobile devices in the future and will help bring Acer’s cutting edge mobile solutions to an even wider audience.
The E-Ten takeover is expected to be complete in Q3 2008.
