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.
