If so then I have the greatest news ever for you; Acer just announced your dream phone!<\/p>\n<p>The Acer Stream was announced today and it comes bearing all the aforementioned goodies atop a Nexusesque core of 1GHz Snapdragon, 512 MB RAM, 3.7&#8243; AMOLED screen and a slim 11.2&#8243; frame. Other notable specs include a 5MP camera capable of 720p video capture, wifi n, FM radio, UPnP and DLNA. The Stream made its way through the FCC with AT&amp;T bands, but there have been no announcements regarding carriers or pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Acer hasn&#8217;t exactly gotten a lot of love for their Android releases thus far, but this one at least on the specs front seems to get things right in a lot of ways. The fact that it will launch with Android 2.1 is of course disappointing and while (like everyone else) Acer assures us that their skin makes Android infinitely more usable and awesome, I&#8217;ll withhold judgment on that until I&#8217;ve had a chance to really see it in action.<\/p>\n<p>You can check the video below for 20+ minutes of unboxing and hands-on time by an Italian blogger which if I only spoke Italian would undoubtedly answer any lingering questions I might have about the Stream.<\/p>\n<p>If this does make it to AT&amp;T and somehow manages to dodge the gimping process that they seem to enjoy levying against Android handsets at the moment this could be a reasonable option for those that aren&#8217;t willing to shell out big money for the AT&amp;T compatible Nexus One.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"540\" height=\"304\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12066497&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"540\" height=\"304\" src=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12066497&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/12066497\">Video Recensione Acer Stream da batista70phone<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user1140147\">batista70phone<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/05\/news\/acer-stream-joins-the-flood-of-snapdragon-handsets\/#\" class=\"showpr\">Show Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pr\"><strong>Acer Stream<\/strong> <strong>the  Perfect Entertainment Machine<\/strong><br \/>\n2010-05-27 &#8211;<br \/>\nPowerful.
