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.
According to a report 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.
