Considering Acer’s acquisition of mobile manufacturer E-Ten back in march, it’s been quiet on the GloFish side of things. Until now Acer haven’t really communicated an action plan as far as it’s participation in the world of converged mobile devices.

Acer have been able to provide great laptops, desktops and handhelds, but how will they go with smartphones?

But will Acer be able to stir up the smartphone industry the way it has PCs? It’s obviously not impossible for a new smartphone maker to enter the market and quickly scoop up share (hello, iPhone), but Acer is obviously no Apple. It doesn’t have the same marketing machine or demonstrated design chops. But it doesn’t have to make the next iPhone to find success. Betting on the evolution of mobile computing from laptops to a smart device like a phone is a no-brainer at this point.

This post from C-Net today seems to say, smartphone for acer, What do you think?
