While we haven’t seen a Windows Phone from Acer in quite a while, the company is at least interested. However, Acer had concerns about getting in on the Windows Phone 8 shenanigans. Specifically, they aren’t yet convinced that Windows Phone 8 has the traction to create a lot of revenue for Acer, which is why

Posted in: Today's ChiliThe Acer machine you’re about to see is rather unique – it’s got what the group calls an “Ezel” hinge, made to expand the units abilities beyond that of the average notebook or desktop.

It’s been a long, long time since Acer launched a Windows Phone… and from all indications, we’re going to keep waiting. The company’s Allen Burnes tells Pocket-lint that Windows Phone 8 is good, but “not the right decision” for Acer in 2013. His firm is concerned with boosting sales volume, and the Liquid series of Android phones are currently better for that task, Burnes says. In his mind, Microsoft has to make a stronger case for Windows Phone — Acer will come back to the OS once there’s improved marketing and (hopefully) more demand. We aren’t entirely surprised that Acer is holding off when it’s already reluctant to back Windows RT, but the cautious attitude is still a disappointment for those who want a little more diversity in Microsoft’s mobile ecosystem.

PSA: Acer Iconia W3 up for pre-order at Office Depot, Staples starting at $350
Posted in: Today's Chili
It’s always refreshing when a product catches us by surprise, but thanks to several leaks, the Acer Iconia W3 definitely didn’t fall into that category. So, when it was unveiled at Computex 2013, we were ready for it in all its 8.1-inch 1,280 x 800, dual-core Intel Atom, Windows Pro 8 glory. The wee slate also ushered in Microsoft’s temporary offer of Office for free on 10-inch or smaller Windows Pro tablets, and you can now pre-order the 32GB version at Staples for $380 or $350 from Office Depot, while a 64GB version from Amazon will run you $430. An optional keyboard should arrive soon for $90, so if you’ve been coveting a small form-factor Windows tab — RT-free — hit the source.
