While we knew about Acers optimistic Android and Windows Mobile plans but little was known about its intentions to introduce handsets based on the Brew platform.
Well, DigiTimes has reported that Acer is indeed planning to enter the feature phone market and is considering in-house development of handsets based on Qualcomm's Brew platform. This might be in response to HTC's Touch. B which will be he first ever feature phone from HTC which is known only to make smartphones.
In other news, Acer has also added 30 members to its Android R&D team, for strengthening its design capability. Foxconn, the same company that makes the iPhone for Apple, will make most of Acer's new phones. Acer's Windows Mobile based low-end phones, however, will be made by Inventec. As reported earlier, the company is planning to introduce between 8 and 10 Android and Windows Mobile powered devices in 2010.
