Bonnie Cha was a former chief correspondent for CNET Crave, covering every kind of tech toy imaginable (with a special obsession for robots and Star Wars-related stuff). When she's not scoping out stories, you can find her checking out live music or surfing in the chilly waters of Northern California.
The Acer booth at Mobile World Congress featured a number of goodies. Certainly, the Acer Iconia Smart turned heads with its 4.8-inch touch screen, but there were plenty of other fun gadgets. Here you'll find a collection of some of the company's smartphones and tablets, starting with the Acer Liquid Mini.
The Liquid Mini was introduced at CES 2011 and runs Android 2.2 Froyo. It also features a 3.2-inch, 480x320-pixel touch screen and a 5-megapixel camera.
