Acer Liquid E Gets the Newest Android 2.1 OS

Acer today followed up their original Liquid smartphone with the new Acer Liquid e. Like the original Liquid, the Acer Liquid e is also a Google Android device, but the new Liquid e will get Android 2.1, aka Ã‰clair, instead of the older Android 1.6. The Acer Liquid e will also use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running at 768MHz. That's underclocked compared to some of the 1GHz Snapdragon phones on the market, but still faster than most current smartphone devices. The Acer Liquid e features a 3.5", WVGA capacitive touchscreen, and a 5-megapixel camera around back. The phone will support the Live Wallpapers also found on the faster, Snapdragon-based Google Nexus One phone. In addition, Acer has also made some improvements to the Android UI. For instance, users will be able to use a Quick Contacts feature to switch between address book and social network apps.

how many...

how many snapdragon powered android 2.1 (with no physical keyboard bleh) phones can the market possibly support? seriously people, android isn't *that* great. sure it's nice and open and yay we (the oem) can slap our skin on it, but outside of that what does it really offer? "revolutionary" gmail support? i'm getting bored of seeing 5 new android phones with nigh identical hardware specs rolling out every week... apple has got to be laughing their butts off that this is supposedly the strategy that is going to supplant (not kill) the iphone.
