    So this computer is X86 only right? It doesn’t have both an x86 Atom processor and also an ARM processor as well?I did not know that Android can be compiled to work with X86!Must be a different version that the one on Smart phones … more features .. more capabilities .. not a direct port to X86..

    It’s android.. The Dialer is a dummy dialer for people who want to develop with it. It is a open sourced Operating System you know…

    it looks like they put no effort into customizing Android for the device since the home screen background image doesn’t fit the screen. Way to go going the extra inch to make it nice for your customers Acer.I also liked how the Windows boot was clipped so you don’t see how long that took. Still nice to see dual boot being allowed on computers. Too bad BeOS was never allowed to dual boot on computers shipped with Windows.

    Plus… From this vid Android looks bloody horrible on this netbook. if donut looks better then maybe but you have to remember that android relies on the user to make the experience personal by changing background ( and currently rooting to do other things). I dont think android will take off on netbooks, why should it when they are getting more powerful and able to run a full os.
