My question is this: what percent of their sales does Acer expect to come from Android and Windows Mobile? Surely they’re not just tossing out a random number but rather have projections for each of these. They’ve already got agreements with several carriers including:
They’ve also got a North American partner lined up for 2010 which means at least 2 things:
Much like our AT&T story this morning… the glass is half empty or full depending on how you choose to see it. Keep in mind though that the North American partner might not even be a United States carrier and even if it IS there is no proof that an Android Phone will be part of any deal/agreement. We’re merely hoping.
But do the math: in the past few days Acer has announced 5 phones (1 Android, 4 WinMo). That would amount to each phone selling 400,000 units even if they didn’t announce another phone in all of 2010. That doesn’t seem very lofty afterall, does it? Maybe if they switch their focus from WinMo to Android they’ll have the opportunity to reach and surpass their goals and set some new, higher ones.
