Acer just announced its first Android phone, the Acer Liquid. The launch date is not mentioned yet, but is expected to be in November.

The Acer Liquid will run the new 1.6 version of the Android OS. It is not confirmed yet if the Android Market will be present on the phone, though it would be very likely. Acer previously announced it would be launching an own app store this year. It is not yet clear whether this will be based on the Android Market.

An updated Android Market will be present in the 1.6 Android OS. As reported earlier, the most important new features of this Android Market are clear separated free and paid application rankings and screenshots of apps. The separated free and paid rankings will make it easier for a developer with paid applications to get visibility in the most popular rankings.

See a demo of the new Android Market below:

Acer is putting a lot of effort into Android: their first netbook running on Android is now also on pre-sale.
