Asus working on Android netbook
Fudzilla — Image But not sure if it will launch one yet Asustek has put together a team of engineers to develop an Android based netbook, but it still hasn't decided if it will launch such a product.

Asus working on Android-based netbook
TechSpot — Going on nothing more but rumors, there has been speculation that Asus has been preparing an Android-based netbook . Naturally, the company wasn't forthcoming on whether or not this was true, until just now. This will add a third major OS into the mix of Netbook software, on top of the specialized version of Windows XP and the Linux distributions currently used by outgoing products. One of the benefits Asus may be able to play up is the fact that Android has been built for mobile, low-power hardware. Given the profile of the current Asus netbooks, I'm expecting that we'll ...
