The world’s second largest PC brand, Acer launched themselves into the mobile world this year, with 10 handsets. Now, the company has announced it wants to double that figure by the end of next year.

Out of those ten, only one runs Android, but Acer plan to change that in 2010 “ Next year it will be much more balanced… There is definitely momentum behind Android, the pace is faster than most would have anticipated one year ago” said Acer’s Aymar de Lencquesaing, adding that the company had no plans to use other operating systems.

De Lencquesaing made it clear that Acer has no plans to follow in the footsteps of the mobile phone big hitters, who produce between 50 – 100 new handsets every year. Instead they hope to make between 8 – 10 devices annually, they also predict that Acer will hit a milestone 1 million handset sales by next year.
