How is Android superior to that??
We just bought three of the Acer Aspire netbooks (1GB RAM, 120GB hard drive), and they are really impressive. We run Labview on them to control dedicated fluidic instruments.
Yes, many netbooks already come with Linux.
Nowhere did I state that Android was or would be superior to Linux on netbooks. I only posted the story because I thought it is technically interesting and newsworthy that the Android OS has been successfully and experimentally loaded onto a netbook.
Personally, I feel that competition is better for us all, and that is generally the conservative view.
