The latest rumor regarding Acer says that Acer is planning to make dual OS netbooks a standard choice for all of its netbooks that have a dual-core processor. Google’s Android OS on the Aspire One D255 isn’t available to everyone, but it will become a standard feature in the future. There’s no reason not to offer it since the OS is cheap and can be easily added.

Android has been seen by notebook manufacturers as a way of providing a near-instant boot solution, though there were previously some issues getting the OS to work right since it wasn’t designed to support a mouse and supported ARM chipsets instead of Intel Atom chips.

Acer is set to release an updated version of its Veriton Z280G all-in-one PC. The Veriton Z410G is powered by the Pentium E5700 processor and features 2GB DDR3 SDRAM, a 320GB hard drive and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500.

The Acer Veriton Z410G also sports a high-definition 21.5-inch LCD display for brilliant images with its 16:9 aspect ratio, a 5ms response time and full HD 1920×1080 resolution. The system also comes with 8 USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA port for transferring data to an external hard drive.

Acer has introduced the Acer C20 pico projector that is the size of a smartphone, measuring only 118 x 60.8 x 18.6mm. The new Acer C20 projects images 1,280 x 800 with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and weighs in at just 166g.

The Acer C20 has a LED bulb that has a lifetime of up to 20,000 hours, and can easily be connected to a laptop, mobile phone or camcorder using the built-in USB and HDMI ports.

Acer has been in the netbook business for years now. Sales of netbooks are slumping as tablets and full notebooks are doing better now that the worst of the economic slump is behinds us. Acer has announced the addition of a new netbook to its line.

The new machine is called the Aspire One AOD255. Acer will offer the machine with either an Atom N450 single-core CPU or a N550 dual-core CPU inside. The machines will both support DDR3 and get 1GB of memory standard. Storage for the machine is to a 250GB HDD.

Acer’s latest All-in-one looks pretty nice. The Aspire AZ3100-U3072 features with a 21.5-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD display, a 2.0GHz AMD Athlon II 170u processor, and a NVIDIA GeForce 9200 graphics card.

Other features include 3GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, a webcam, a DVD drive, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, an HDMI port, two built-in speakers and it comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium for the OS.

The name Pininfarina will mean something to car enthusiasts. Pininfarina design has now hit LED TVs in the form of the Acer AT58 LED TV. All the right angles have been softened, while straight lines remain to make it easier for your TV to blend in with your living room.

An ultra-slim body along with a transparent frame and a sleek pedestal makes this one nice to look at. You’ll also get energy savings of up to 68%. It comes in 23”, 27”, 32” and 42” screen sizes, and all feature backlit panels.

We’ve been waiting to see more dual screen laptops like this here Onkyo and this guy here, but it’s been dry lately. Now we hear some news that Acer is testing a rig that might be powerful enough to do the trick.

Some pictures from Tech Review purportedly show a 2.67GHz Intel Core i5 processor (likely a Core i5-580M) with dual fifteen-inch multitouch screens, making other dual screen lappies look dated by comparison. According to the source however, this device is “still slow and buggy,” so we likely have a long wait.

Acer’s Liquid Metal has been spotted in the wild. It looks like the entire body is made out of shiny metal, maybe aluminum. It will ship with Android 2.2 Froyo and Acer Shell 4.0. A Qualcomm MSM7230-1 800MHz chipset runs everything, along with an Adreno 205 GPU, 512MB RAM and the same in ROM.

The touchscreen display is small compared to other high end handsets. It sports a 3.61″ WVGA TFT LCD 800 x 480 resolution display. There’s also Bluetooth 3.0 and a camera with an unknown megapixel count that has flash.

A few companies track PC shipments around the globe including iSuppli. In July, iSuppli offered up the numbers for Q1 2010 and Acer overtook Dell for the second place in the global PC shipment list.

Europeans looking for a little multi-touch action should look Acer’s way. Acer has announced the availability of their new T231H multi-touch monitor in Europe. This was first seen back at Computex 2010, which seems like a lifetime ago.

The Stream will arrive on August 9th 2010, for £399 including VAT ($615), although the product page is showing August 7th as the due date.

Acer has announced its new S1 Series LCD displays, which are extremely thin and eco-friendly. Available display sizes range from 18.5-inch to 23-inches and just 13mm-15mm thin. That’s so thin, you’ll want to feed it. You can expect low environmental impact, thanks to the use of eco-friendly materials and low power consumption.

Acer is still in the Android game. They have some android handsets, a 7-inch tablet that might be released later this year and possibly two netbooks coming soon. Now it looks like there’s also a 10-inch Android 2.2 tablet coming in the fourth quarter of this year along with the 7-inch model.

DigiTimes claims to have spoken with “sources from notebook players” who say that the tablets will be powered by ARM chipsets and will have a stronger focus on multimedia and entertainment. Acer is also apparently working with some carriers to support the tablets.
