Acer has made official their new Android and SnapDragon smartphone called Acer Stream. This is probably the 5th Android smartphone from Acer but the first one having a 1GHz SnapDragon processor.

The specs looked very similar to the Nexus One, except for that 2GB internal storage. Although the Acer Stream’s AMOLED display is at 3.7 inches, it’s a little thinner than the Google Nexus One at 11.2mm but heavier at 140 grams.
The Stream will have Android 2.1 pre-installed and is readily upgradeable to Froyo. Acer also added its own Touch 3D UI v4.0 on top of the OS layer. We’re not sure if this unit will ever hit the Philippines considering the previous ones haven’t even been seen locally.
I consume about four liters a week, I’ll begin my week with close to 3 and then go to on to several other types. I like to think the more the better though.
