Siemens to team up with Acer on cellphones?

We've been following Siemens' various attempts to unload its mobile business with varying levels of interest over the past few months (there are only so many times you want to write about how they're supposedly selling the division to somebody else), but there's a new twist in this ongoing saga. German magazine Der Spiegel reports that Siemens is in talks with both Nortel Networks and Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Acer about possible partnerships. No specifics on what the outcome any deal might be, but supposedly Acer is just as eager to get into the cellphone game as Siemens is to get out.
