Acer Eyes 2 Million Shipments of Aspire One by Q3 2008
Posted in: 9inch, aspire one, tags: acer, aspire one
Digitimes is reporting that Acer is projecting that they can ship two million units of the Aspire One netbook by 3Q of 2008. While Acer is yet to achieve one million units sold which it hopes to achieve by the end of September, still the company is confident that they could achieve the 2 million mark.
To help in achieving this goal, Acer is planning to release a new version of the Aspire with a built-in 3G module, initially for Taiwan sometime in November. This 3G-powered Aspire One will be released in cooperation with Taiwan Mobile.
In addition, said new version of the Aspire One has adopted Qualcomm’s 3G chip.
Some people are touting the Acer Aspire One as the better netbook than the recently released Dell Inspiron Mini 9, primarily because of its sleek-looking design and affordable price. Adding a 3G module to the Aspire One will definitely gather more interest for the netbook, and perhaps increase unit sales.
