This is really non-sense, why would someone want a cell phone OS on a laptop. The netbook version of Ubuntu is really great and has all the software and repositories one can need.

I already have 2 netbooks – Eee 1000H (XP) and 701 (originally “Xandros” but now EasyPeasy Ubuntu Remix).

Still, I’m curious to see wether the acer launches at all, and if it does, which customizations have been applied to the ui (in terms of full keyboard integration).

Android might have a shot on the acer if it comes with a) a touchscreen and b) a good “quickstart” which makes users familiar with the use of that.

Without a touchscreen (and a wireless access module for wifi) the acer will #fail I think :/

I would buy one provided it is dual boot with XP
