Acer plans to venture into the PDA phone market in the second half of 2006, with its smart handheld devices built with CPUs and flash memory chips from Samsung Electronics and running on Microsoft?s Windows Mobile operating system, according to company sources.
Acer?s first PDA phone will be a 3G-enabled model, and the company will launch the model in the second half of next year when the market for 3G handsets is more mature, the sources noted.
Meanwhile, Acer also aims to ship 1.5 million PDAs in 2006, with one-third of the shipments to be GPS-enabled devices, the source indicated, adding that all of the company?s PDAs will feature LCD displays of 3.5-3.7 inches in size.
