Last year Acer hinted that they would be launching a smartphone that will be powered by Intel’s processors. Now we have news that Intel has partnered with Acer to launch a smartphone called the Liquid C1 in Bangkok, Thailand. The smartphone is powered by Intel’s Lexington-based Atom Z240 processor and will retail for 9,990 baht or about $335.27.Uday Marty, Intel’s managing director for Southeast Asia, says that the country is a key market because of its young mobile user audience. That would be why they decided to launch it there. The Acer Liquid C1 features a 4.3-inch screen, an 8-megapixel camera, a 2,000mAH battery, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

We first spotted Acer’s affordable 7-inch Iconia B1 tablet last month, where it was rumored the device would launch globally at a staggering $99 price point. Well, new information has leaked out today suggesting the device would in fact launch as the Iconia B this month. The tablet is slated to make its world debut in India for 7,999 INR, which equates to around $150 US, a bit more than originally rumored.

If you’re unfamiliar, the Acer Iconia B runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and sports a 7-inch 1024 x 600 display, a 1.2-GHz dual-core MediaTek processor and 512MB of RAM. Users will also get 8GB of on board storage with expansion available through the included micro SD slot.

The Acer V360 leaked a few days ago, but now it's back with even more photos. The V360 will come with Jelly Bean out of the box. It has a slightly bigger screen than the S500, though it's a step down in terms of specs.

Most of the specs of the Acer V360 have been confirmed - it has a 4.5" qHD screen with 245ppi pixel density and it runs Android 4.1.1 with customized UI. The phone is powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor, though there's no info what kind of architecture it employs.

Anyway, the V360 packs a 5MP main camera with LED flash and a VGA front-facing camera. The phone carries the DTS logo, which promises some premium sound. The phone measures 132 x 68.5 x 9.9 mm and weighs 140g.

It will go on sale in mainland China for $300 and should be available in Taiwan too. There is no word on a world-wide release yet. There's no exact launch date yet either
