I agree with post #2-Maj, I don't know how well this OS will translate to a bigger device. Will there be a netbook version of Android? But, I'm glad more major companies are looking at open source operating systems. I hope that it brings the price down because the customer isn't paying for the license fee to the OS.

I am a huge fan of linux and Android. But, I think the we need to be rallying around Ubuntu UNR as the netbook standard OS. Having two will just confuse users/consumers. And, it is not clear to me how easily it will be for android apps to work on normal Linux distros that use X.Org. So, it could be that android get a lot of developer attention but it doesn't help Linux as a whole at all. Personally, I am not very excited by this news. I am a huge fan of linux and Android.

I just love the idea that it will be ultra low powered, batteries will last forever and it's still got some beefy processing. Exactly what a netbook/smartbook is all about.

While the Windows fanboys are talking about Win7 taking over the netbook market netbook OEM's are rushing to get out Android based netbooks. With 20 phones out there by the years end the Android interface will hardly be foreign. People will buy these netbooks and it will open the market for other Linux based netbooks as well. Then we'll start having some real competition in the PC market at least on netbooks. I just find this all hilarious.

No worries, though, with the news coming so fast from these two I had them mixed up until I read that Acer is using the Intel Atom processor and the demo was from Qualcomm. All good stuff!!!
