The first Acer handset powered by Android, the Liquid A1 (S100) was spotted at the FCC. Equipped with AT&T/Rogers/Bell/Telus frequencies at 850/1900MHz, the handset could end up in the U.S. as the Acer smartphone invasion tries to plant some roots. We previously reported on the PC maker's desire to launch a more balanced line next year by adding some more Android devices. Acer is striving to crack the list of the top 5 smartphone producers within the next 5 years.

As for the Liquid A1, it is expected to feature a Snapdragon processor underclocked to 768MHz, a 3.5 inch WVGA touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 5MP camera with AF. The device also focuses on the social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, and carries a 3.5mm audio jack for your listening pleasure. According to BGR, Acer execs have been telling AT&T and T-Mobile folks that it would be a good idea for the carriers to strike a relationship with the Taiwanese based company. If Acer does succeed in getting AT&T's attention, it might have to compete with another PC maker offering a smartphone as Dell is expected to launch the Mini3iX through the carrier in the first quarter of next year.
