I hope so, an upgrade to 2.0/1 or whichever may also include fixes for the battery life, everyone with a A1 should get it as there is a update app which i think is Acer only – correct me people if im wrong?

Hopefully they’ll send the fingerprint from that version to Google and it will have full market access instead of the current situation where copy protected apps STILL aren’t accessible.

This is good news, but Google and the phone manufacturers need to dedicate more resources to bringing older devices up to speed with new versions of Android. The A1 should never have released with anything other than 2.0.

@ Usman

The Liquid is actually not running vanilla Android. It isn’t a complete makeover like the Sens UI, but still, it requires some changes… And 2.0 to the Liquid in march would make it a really quick uppgrade, in Android terms…
Consider the 7500i that runs completly vanilla, and maybe never gonna get the upgrade…? Or the beloved Hero that almost released six months before the Liquid, still hasn’t gotten anything other than some minor bugfixes

maxima is already creating custom roms for the A1.

hopefully cyanogen or haykuro will take a proactive role in development and ports.

I have been using the Acer Liquid for a couple weeks now and im extremely picky on my phones but here are some things i enjoy.
Pros:
768mhz speed is amazing
storage memory is sufficient
Design of the phone is very sexy haha
very responsive touch screen
speaker volume is very clear and loud
Cons:
battery life

There are 2 ex G1 Devs now working on Acer A1 plus some other new A1 Devs so as there should be a Nexus One port by the time this update comes out.

Agreed! Why not take it to the latest version, fix up all the bugs in v1.6 (e.g. no vpn settings in menu) and March…! Considering the bugs and all, I would have expected something sooner!

I don’t get it… it’s running plain vanilla Android,right? Why wouldn’t they just upgrade it to 2.1?

I don’t understand the hostility, this is good news for Acer owners.

Lets hope HTC keep up.
