Acer’s NAV50 and NAV60 netbooks have been made appearances on the FCC in December and January, and today more pictures of the devices were released in a WiFi filing by Acer.  Today’s test reports show that the NAV50 and 60 will support 802.11 b/g/n.  This contradicts previous filings by Acer that showed only support for 802.11 b/g.

External pictures of the NAV 50 and 60 show a relatively thin cross section, and front lip that slopes upward.  The netbook has 3 USB ports, an Ethernet port and a VGA port.  There also appears to be a card reader on the front right side of the device, although we’re not sure what formats the reader supports.

The NAV50 will be offered under the Acer brand, while the NAV60 will bear Packard Bell and Gateway brands.  No word on pricing or a release date.

Earlier this month, Acer’s E110 Android-powered smartphone made an appearance on the Bluetooth SIG site, and today the device popped up on the FCC.  The E110 received FCC approval for GSM 850 and 1900 bands, as well as WCDMA Bands II and V.  However the Bluetooth SIG site indicates that the device will support GSM 900 and 1800, and WCDMA bands I and VIII as well.

The E110 features Bluetooth, of course, as well as GPS.  However, no mention is made of WLAN, which would be a glaring omission for a smartphone.

No word on pricing or availability.

We first spotted label pics of Acer’s NAV50 and NAV60 notebooks on the FCC back in December.  Today, external pictures of the device were released to the FCC, revealing a glistening silver exterior and white interior.

Unfortunately, Acer only submitted a generic user’s manual to the FCC, so we don’t know the exact specs of the NAV50/60.  However, the device’s compact form factor suggest that it is a netbook.  Additionally, the test report for the NAV50/60 show WWAN capabilities with support for quad band GSM/EDGE, and WCDMA bands I, II and V.

Acer lists the model name for this device as the NAV50 for Acer and NAV60 for Gateway and Packard Bell.  Three ‘marketing’ names are also mentioned:  AO532, LT21 and dot s2.

No word on pricing or availability of the NAV50/60, but we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

This previously unseen smartphone from Acer made an appearance on the FCC today.  FCC documents for the phone don’t reveal much – all we know is that the phone will have Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g.  Label photos of the M900DF also show a Windows logo on the back of the device, indicating that this will likely be part of Acer’s Windows Mobile line.

FCC documents indicate that the M900DF will be available in the US.  However, there’s no indication on a release date or pricing.

Update:  Additional FCC filings today show that the M900DF will support 850/1900 GSM and WCDMA bands II and V, suggesting that this device will be released by AT&T.

Acer’s highly anticipated A1 smartphone passed through the FCC today.  The device rocks a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running at 768 MHz and Android 2.0.

The A1 has a 3.5” touchscreen, and and a standard suite of smartphone features that include Bluetooth, GPS, b/g WiFi, and a 5 MP camera.  It weighs in at about 4.8 ounces and is less than half an inch thick.

I’m eager to see how the A1 performs with Android and the underclocked Snapdragon.  Apparently, Acer didn’t do much customization however, so the device will lack some of the bells and whistles of other Android 2.0 devices.

According to SlashGear, the A1 is already on sale through importers.

We don’t have much to go on here, but this device passed through the FCC today.  According to the device’s test report, this notebook will be offered as the NAV50 and NAV60 under Acer, Gateway and PackardBell brands.

Label location diagrams of the device show room for a 3G modem and space for a Windows XP COA sticker.  The device will feature Bluetooth, 802.11 b/g, as well.

Judging from the size of the label diagram, I suspect that this will be a netbook.  There is no confirmation of this in today’s FCC filing, however.

Cnet published an interesting article today about how Windows division President Steven Sinofsky worked with Acer to design an ideal Windows 7 notebook.  Coincidentally, that notebook, called the Aspire 1420P, showed up on the FCC website today as well.

The 1420P is a tablet that is designed to leverage the multitouch capabilities built into Windows 7.  The device features VGA and HDMI outputs, multicard reader, a/b/g/n WiFi, 3G WWAN, Bluetooth, and webcam.

Although the Sinofsky designed 1420P rocks an Intel Celeron mobile processor, the notebook is also available with Core 2 Duo or Pentium mobile processors.  The tablet comes with 4 GB of RAM, which can be upgraded to 8 GB.

The highlight of the tablet is a 11.6” 1366×768 touchscreen display.  However, integrated Mobile Intel GS45 graphics are a bit disappointing.

No word on pricing or a release date for the 1420P Series, which Acer also sells as the Aspire 1820PT.

Acer’s Ferrari One 200 laptop passed through the FCC today sporting Qualcomm’s Gobi processor.  Gobi is a robust all-in-one wireless chip that supports CDMA 2000, EVDO, W-CDMA, GSM and EDGE, and Qualcomm threw GPS in there as well just for the heck of it.

The benefit here is that Gobi allows your laptop to surf the new on practically any wireless network worldwide, a big plus for frequently travelers.
