The Acer Guy

I’m going to go on record here by saying that the Acer Liquid is more than a valid alternative to the iPhone.

You gotta be kidding me… We made it onto Engadget?? OK, for like a few hours only (Obama’s super secret Blackberry showed us the door) but Acer was there. I saw it and if you didn’t now’s your chance.

This is alleged to be on the list of devices about to be announced by Acer on the 16th February at the Mobile World Congress cellphone event in Barcelona.

Well I can tell you that…

OK. Here’s a twist on my 9 to 5…

Before any of you post this to Engadget or Digg this is all hypothetical. Sort of.
