Taiwanese personal computer maker Acer Inc. said Tuesday it will release a new smartphone in China that is powered by Aliyun, a mobile operating system developed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. that is trying to take on Google Inc.'s dominant Android platform.
The new smartphone by Acer -- the world's fourth largest PC maker -- is an indication that Alibaba is seeing stronger demand from handset makers for its Aliyun smartphone operating software it launched last year.
The release also comes amid discussions world-wide about possible alternatives to Android, as the technology industry is closely watching Apple Inc.'s patent war against rival smartphone makers using the Google software.
"We chose Aliyun for the new smartphone because of the user experience it can offer," said Dave Chan, general manager of Acer's global smartphone business group overseeing Chinese operations. Aliyun is also easy for first-time users to navigate, he said.
Unlike Apple's iOS or Google's Android, on which apps are installed on the device, Aliyun runs Web-based apps that are stored on remote servers. The system also comes with its own mapping and email applications. Alibaba spent about three years developing Aliyun, which the company unveiled in July 2011.
Acer said its CloudMobile A800 smartphone, which will go on sale Friday, will be its highest-priced smartphone in China, selling for 2,999 yuan ($473). Acer said it would also release the same handset in parts of the world other than China, but the ones sold outside China will be powered by Android.
In China, people who purchase the new phone at Acer's online store on Alibaba's Tmall shopping website will be offered a special promotion deal, Acer said, without elaborating. Acer entered China's smartphone market last year, but has little presence so far.
