Like UnlikeFiled in: MonitorsProjectorsAcerH274HLbmdH9500BD
Acer has announced two new products that will launch today and can convert your 2D content to 3D for you to enjoy. The products are the HR274H 3D computer display and the new H9500BD projector. The new display has a cool Acer chip-based 3D conversion solution to turn 2D into 3D with no software required. The display also uses passive polarized glasses that are much cheaper than active 3D glasses.
The display measured 27-inches and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 for full HD 3D content and video gaming. The 3D chip tech will work with any video card as well. The display ships with a single pair of 3D glasses. Connectivity for the display includes HDMI. The other new product is the H9500BD pro...

Orange UK now offers Acer Liquid Express for free with 20.50 GBP/month plan
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerOrangeLiquid e
The Acer Liquid Express is now available from Orange UK. We’ve first seen this low-to-mid end Android smartphone back in September and now everyone can get it for free on a plan that costs at least 20.50 GBP per month. That money either gets you 300 minutes and unlimited texts; or 100 minutes, unlimited texts, and 500 MB of data every month. If you need more minutes and megabytes, you can grab some more expensive plan to get up to 900 minutes and 1 GB of data for whopping 41 GBP per month. Now I’m not sure why would anyone grab such a device with that big plan, since you can easily get a way more powerful smartphone with the same monthly commitment.

The pocket projector is capable of displaying a WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, 500 ANSI lumens, and a 4000:1 contrast ratio.

Acer Iconia Tab A200 pictures leaked online
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAcerICONIA TAB A200-10g08u
This is the first we've seen of the Acer Iconia Tab A200, an as yet unannounced Android Honeycomb tablet that's come to light thanks to a brief post on the Bluetooth SIG website. Unfortunately, the leak is extremely short on details — in fact there are almost none to speak of, except that it'll have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and will be available worldwide. And yes, that's as big as the picture gets. There is some information online, most notably from a thread on XDA Developers which describes it as a "low-cost" Iconia Tab A500. Their data pegs it as having a rear camera, Dolby Mobile, new Acer Ring app and lockscreen shortcuts, and running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Our review of the A500 called it one of...

Acer reveals Veriton Z2620G and Veriton Z2610G slim all-in-one PCs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Desktop ComputersAcerVeriton VZ2620G-Ui52400WVeriton VZ2610G-UG620W
In addition to the all-in-one PCs revealed earlier this morning in the Z series, Acer is presenting this week their first official glimpse of two all-in-one PCs under the Veriton name, Z2620G and Z2610G. While the Z series devices released this morning are mostly for entertainment it would seem, the Veriton duo here looks to be set for business. Ideal for “anywhere that space conservation and presentation are a priority” says Acer‘s Commercial Systems Business Manager Leila Axelle Robert, and with a 20-inch display on each of these units with a slim display cutting down on bulk, they certainly are that.

Acer's first venture into Windows Phone arrives in France as the Allegro
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftAcerWindows Phone 7
Remember the Acer W4? After seeing it at IFA 2011, it seems that it's finally ready to make some first impressions, and its blind date is with France. Known officially as the Allegro, Acer's inaugural Windows Phone isn't going over the top in the spec department: it has a 3.6-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, 1GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM8255 CPU, 8GB internal storage, 5MP rear camera with LED flash and a 1,300mAh battery. However, a unique addition to this €299 ($425) device is a feature called Fast Charge, which allows the Allegro to get juiced up to 2.5 times faster than the rest of the company's lineup. Expect the device to land in France in mid-November with two color options -- white and ...

The new hotness these days is in manufacturers confirming that their Honeycomb tablets will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment, and get it fast. Word has it that the Motorola XOOM will get the Android 4.0 update, and it looks like the Acer ICONIA TAB A100 and A500 will be getting the update in very early 2012.
Apparently, word leaked from Acer Poland that the ICONIA TAB A100/101 and A500/501 would not be getting the update this year, but users should expect the ICS treatment in mid-January 2012. This seems to match up with a lot of the other update announcements that we've heard from other companies, so although there has been no official announcement, there is also no reason to be...

Ultrabook Makers Turning to Hybrid Storage to Cut Costs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Acer
Ultrabook players were hoping Intel would cut them a break with a juicy 50 percent discount on Core i processors to be used in the new notebook form factor. Intel, having already earmarked millions of dollars towards marketing the Ultrabook concept, scoffed at the idea of half-off CPUs, leaving notebook makers looking for other ways to cut back costs. Hello hybrid storage.
According to DigiTimes, hybrid hard drives are gaining traction in the emerging Ultrabook category, where storage components typically account for 10-20 percent of the total cost. By eschewing solid state drives in favor of hybrid HDDs, Ultrabooks players can keep retail costs under $1,000 while still offering fast bootup ...

Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcer
And the Ultrabooks have arrived! We just got word that the Acer Aspire S3 will go on sale in the US and Canada this week for $899 -- making it the first pinch-thin, MacBook Air competitor to hit the market, landing ahead of competing models from Toshiba, Lenovo and ASUS.

For the money, you'll get an ultra low voltage Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 20GB of solid-state storage combined with a 320GB HDD. No word yet on how many additional configs will be available, though Acer did confirm that this $899 vers...

Acer will be launching a Windows Phone Mango-based device called Allegro in Europe at some point “before Christmas.” According to Telecompaper, the Taiwanese company will ask 299 EUR for the new phone, which BTW looks as the W4 we’ve seen before (and which is pictured above). Specs wise, it will come with a single-core processor under the hood, 3.6-inch WVGA screen, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and a 5-megapixel camera.
In the other Acer news, they said that the Liquid Mini Ferrari Edition will also sell for 299 EUR. This little fella’ is everything but Ferrari under the hood, rocking a somewhat dated single-core 600MHz processor. Moreover, it also sports a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 5-megap...

Ex-Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci joins Lenovo as a consultant
Like UnlikeFiled in: AcerLenovo
We haven't heard much from outspoken former Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci since he left the company back in March of this year, but it looks like he's now ready to get back into the PC business in a slightly different role. Lenovo confirmed today that Lanci is joining the company as a consultant to "help develop and accelerate Lenovo's worldwide consumer business." Initially, those efforts will be mostly focused on Lenovo's integration of German PC manufacturer Medion, which it acquired in June for $907 million, but it sounds like this is more than just a short-term gig -- he does get to stay in Italy, though. Head on past the break for Lenovo's complete statement.
