[MWC 2010] Acer is showing its BeTouch E400 mid-range Android phone at Mobile World Congress. It’s a decent Android phone and it has a few Acer-specific widgets and software (including free-music streaming!), but overall, it’s an average Android offering. It has the advantage of being loaded with Android 2.1 (Ã‰clair) out of the box, while older phones are still waiting for an update. Facebook and Twitter are also integrated by default. Finally, it is available in White, Black or Pearl Red.

Highlights:

Android 2.1
3.2” HVGA touch screen (resistive)
3.2 Megapixel Camera (autofocus)
GPS
Nemo Media Player

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Facebook: Facebook is a Social Networking service launched in 2004. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. At first, only students from Harvard could join the service, but over time more users were allowed to join. Today, Facebook remains the leader in social networking, but most importantly, it is the top online identity provider as the overwhelming majority of Facebook users have registered using their real identities.If you have a Facebook account, you can use Ubergizmo's Social Reader.

Google: Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.
