Acer’s Big Plans for 2010: App Store, E-Reader and Chrome OS Netbook

Acer is in the midst of the establishment of its own online application stores, for its range of mobile phones. Reportedly, its app store will launch by the mid-2010.

According to Jim Wong, CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Acer, the new app store will have hundreds of mobile software downloads and exclusive contents that will not be available on the rival smartphones. He said that both low-cost, as well as free applications will be featured in this app store.

However, there is no clue on the name of the developers, who will contribute to the software efforts. It was in March 2009 that Acer first revealed its plan for an app store, at the annual Mobile World Congress event.

Along with the plan for an own app store, Acer has planned to launch a Chrome OS based netbook in the third quarter of 2010. Furthermore, there will be an e-reader as well. The launch of e-reader can bless Acer well, since there is no dominant brand for e-book in European market now.

To conclude, these are some of the prominent plans of Acer to make 2010 their year.
