The move by Acer, the world's third-largest PC maker, could raise Android's chances of becoming a widely used alternative to Windows on mobile computers.
Meanwhile, Asus seem reluctant (http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/asustek-puts-android-netbook-ice-728) [infoworld.com] to do the same:
Moments after sharing a news conference stage with Intel executive vice president Sean Maloney and Microsoft corporate vice president, OEM Division, Steven Guggenheimer, the chairman of Asustek, Jonney Shih, demurred when asked about the Android Eee PC.
I wonder why Asus are scared to offer up Android. Personally, I think the more OS choices for netbooks, so much the better. Things are starting to heat up now, what with ARM and Snapdragon and Atom and Windows 7 and all. I wonder what's going to happen.
