Taiwanese device-maker Acer has put on hold the launch of its new smartphone - which runs on China-based Alibaba Group Holding's Aliyun OS mobile operating system - in the wake of the objections raised by Google on late Friday.

With over 90 percent of the smartphones manufactured by Acer being powered by Google's popular Android OS, Google's objections to the new Acer handset - CloudMobile A800 - were based on the claims that Alibaba's Aliyun OS was a "non-compatible" version of Android.

In other words, Google has asserted that Android-rival Aliyun OS - which powers the Acer CloudMobile A800 - has been created by Alibaba by making use of the Android software and bringing about a few changes to it.

According to reports, Google has apparently avowed that it will terminate its Android-linked association and technology licensing with Acer if it launches devices that run on the Aliyun OS.

Reporting that the release of the smartphone has been postponed by Acer, Tencent Tech revealed that though Acer was scheduled to release its 2,999 yuan-priced (approximately US$473) CloudMobile A800 Shanghai on Thursday, the company called off the launch event at the eleventh hour; thus delaying the handset's release.

The Tencent Tech report further said that no reason was offered by the launch-event organizers for the cancellation of CloudMobile A800's release; and also added that Aliyun had stated that it respects Acer's decision.
