Some pictures have been released for what looks to be the Tablet interface. This new UI known as Immersive is a locked down feature, operating at 640×480 and cannot be resized. Something else notable is the addition of an Immersive version of Internet Explorer designed for the platform. Most of the features do not work so I think is safe to say we won’t see this for some time, or if we do it might have that rushed feel some developers like to go for.
Acer have done quite well with their Android powered handsets that they sell under the liquid brand. Starting with the Acer Liquid itself about 18 months ago then moving to the Liquid E and then a special edition Liquid E Ferrari model.
Overall we’ve been rather impress with the Liquid handsets, they offer great features whilst not breaking the bank. The other great thing about them is that Acer are pretty quick to release updates for their handsets, the Liquid started life as Android 1.6 but soon went to 2.1
This latest Liquid Metal model comes with Android 2.2 Froyo (and update will be available soon), 800MHz CPU and 512MB RAM. What I like most about the Liquid Metal is that you get a 3.6″ capacitive screen that’s 480×800 pixels where other handsets at this price point have HVGA displays.
Check out the unboxing video below, Patrick’s full review is just a few days away.
