Acer may be calling this "100 percent smartphone. 100 percent
tablet.," but something just doesn't add up there. That being said, we
have to agree that a 1024x480 screen resolution on a 4.8-inch
smartphone is downright drool-worthy. Clocking in at just a smidgen
smaller than Dell's Streak, this here phone (no finalized name has
been bestowed quite yet) was just revealed at Acer's Global press
event in New York City. It was only shown briefly, demonstrating an
unknown version of Android and the "evolution of Acer UI." Specs wise,
there's a two megapixel front-facing camera, eight megapixel rear
camera (with LED flash), 720p video recording, a six-axis Gyroscope +
accelerometer package and LED edge lighting. Per usual, Acer's keeping
a lid on any pricing estimates, but it'll be shipping out to gap-jawed
customers everywhere in April 2011.

Update: We've got the full PR after the break, which informs us of the
atypical 21:9 aspect ratio in use here as well as its "full metal
body." Curiously enough, it's also rocking a curved back (is that a
trend we spot?), Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11n WiFi, HSDPA support, a 1GHz
Snapdragon processor and an HDMI output. Delicious, all the way around.
