The Wall Street Journal reported that Acer would be shipping netbooks loaded with Google’s open-source Android platform beginning the third quarter of this year. Acer is still continuing their Windows based netbooks but would add Android in the mix. Acer in previous months already announced their disbelief on the power of Android and they didn’t have any plans on selling netbooks loaded with Android.
According to Jim Wong, the head of IT products and business line of Acer, “For a netbook, you really need to be able to view a full web for the total internet experience, And Android is not that yet.”
There weren’t any major upgrade to Android and it seems Jim just spent more time on the software until he appreciated it’s features.
