Acer CloudMobile phone randomly shows up for Pre-Order

Think back, way back, back to CES and Mobile World Congress. We realized that all was happening just 7 months ago, but in tech terms, that’s like 35 years. I am sure there is an equation for that. During that time we all got to see a little bit of the new Acer CloudMobile device. It was a stunning looking creation that won some pretty big award for only being a prototype device. Its claim to fame back then was the 4.3-inch 800 x 1280 display, Ice Cream Sandwich and their personal Acer cloud service built-in.

Since seeing the device a handful f times in February, it has sort of gone dark. That is until now. The wonderful guys at Expanse seem to have the device up for pre-order with an estimated release date of September 5th. Want the full spec run down, take a look;

Dimensions â€“ < 10 mm thickness

Display â€“ 800 x 1280 pixels, 4.3 inches (351 ppi pixel density)

Dolby Mobile sound enhancement

Memory â€“ Card slot microSD, up to 32GB

Internal Memory â€“ 16 GB, 1 GB RAM

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot

NFC

It is still one of the best designs and most powerful devices to come from Acer. The only downside is Acer’s history of updates. With this coming available with Ice Cream Sandwich and no information from Acer on any Jelly Bean talk at all, makes it hard to swallow forÂ Â£284.99, or $447.06 USD.

When we all first saw this device, we were excited. Now it just doesn’t seem to pull at our pocket books as much.
