Acer Stream is Now in the UK, Joins Android Line Up
Another Android handset has been brought over to the UK, and this time, it is the Acer Stream. This new smart phone from the electronics manufacturer has just been recently launched and is exclusively being offered by eXpansys –a major online retailer.
The Acer Stream joins the already impressive lineup of smart phones that use Google’s open source mobile platform. To sum up all the devices that were launched this year, here is a quick list.
First came the Google Nexus One at the start of January, which is officially the first Android to come out this year and the first to ever run on a 1GHz CPU. The device was later followed by the HTC Desire, HTC Legend and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 handsets, which were also using 1GHz processors. Samsung followed up the set with the i9000 Galaxy S which used a super AMOLED touch screen display and Dell came out with the Streak, the Android with the largest display (5 inches).
Motorola followed up the original Milestone with the XT 720, which is basically a similar device but with the keyboard replaced by a better camera. LG would also release new Optimus devices (which is their Android lineup of devices).
The Acer Stream, like the other high end Android devices, is also running on a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU (QSD8250). This means that the device is able to run apps and features with minimal to no slowdown issues at all. This also means that running games will be fast and smooth. The Android 2.1 Éclair is ready to be upgraded to version 2.2 Froyo, but so far, only the Nexus One has updates for the new OS.
The device also comes with a 5 mega pixel camera with 720p HD video. Users can playback recordings on the 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen display (480 x 800 resolution) or use the mini HDMI output port instead.
