Acer Liquid E is the second handset designed by Acer Inc. that uses Android 2.1 and the first sold in Canada. The difference between the Acer Liquid E and the Acer Liquid, its predecessor, is the quantity of available random-access memory – the Acer Liquid E has 512MB, twice that of the Acer Liquid at 256MB. Android, a Linux-based operating system developed by Google and Open Handset Alliance, is primarily employed through touch screen mobile devices such as smartphones and table computers. Initially developed by Android Inc., a company that Google financially backed and purchased in 2005, Android was unveiled in 2007 alongside the founding of the Open Handset Alliance. The latter was a consortium of 84 hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. (Members of this firm include Google, HTC, Sony, Dell, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel, Nvidia, and Wind River Systems.) - Area Notes
