It seems that most hardware manufacturers are starting to see the potential of Windows Phone 7. Hopefully Motorola will see the light at some point as well. While Acer looks to take on Windows Phone 7, they still want to maintain their relationship with Android. They plan to release 7-10 new smarthphones a year. I wonder what the ratio will be WP7:Android.</p>
