While Dell plays the love-love game with Google, Acer has decided to play catch-up with a recently announced multi-year partnership with Yahoo!.
The deal starts with a co-branded toolbar and start page (based on the Yahoo! personalised home page, of course), which will be preloaded on all Acer PCs worldwide starting from 1st October, 2006. Localised versions will be developed for many countries as well.
Well, this might not be an Acer product, but it can be used with an Acer notebook. That’s a good enough reason for us to feature this nifty Bluetooth remote control which can be slotted into your notebook’s ExpressCard slot.
But then, you probably won’t understand our fascination with the Interlink Electronics VP6600 ExpressCard Media Remote until you read Stuff Mag’s feature of the device. Of course, since they did mix our fav Acer Ferrari notebook with their uhmm… analysis, we could just be biased.
On NotebookReview.com’s list last month, the Acer Aspire 5672 was the 10th most popular notebook. This month, it’s climbed to 6th place, with the newly inducted Aspire 5102 at No. 8.
This makes it two for Acer, the highest number from a single manufacturer (along with Dell and Toshiba).
Oh yes, the Top 3 on the list are still the Toshiba Satellite A105, the Dell Inspiron e1505, and the Sony VAIO SZ - though the VAIO SZ has lost its 2nd placing to the Inspiron e1505.
