2010 big production year
Computer maker Acer is aggressively pushing itself into
the phone manufacturing market.
According to DigiTimes,
Acer wants to ship 400,000-500,000 own-brand handsets in 2009 and 1.5 to 2
million units in 2010. By cooperating with Taiwan-based Telco Far EasTone Acer
has also reached cooperation agreements with a number of other carriers for
bundle sales, including CSL of Hong Kong, SFR and Bouygues of France, and Wind
of Italy.
There are rumours of a team-up with an unnamed teleco in
the US in 2010. Acer has been doing well out of PC sales but is convinced
that the the phone market will pick up
next year.
