Acer to release Dual-OS netbook with Android and XP

According to a very, very short (did I mention how short it is?) article at digitimes, Acer is expected to be releasing a netbook that runs two Operating Systems – Android and Windows XP. The Aspire One AOD 255 would retail for $370 US, and will be shown at the 2010 Taipei Computer Applications Show from August 5-9. Sources say that it would be the first dual-OS netbook publicly available in the Taiwanese market.

What do you think about this OS combo? let us know in the comments!

    I’m sure this has been done before though. I swear I have played with a Acer Netbook that could dual boot Android, and it came like this from the factory.

  3. @Andrew Lyons – Yep you’re right, there’s been one (from Acer) for months and months now. Can’t remember exactly how long, but at least since last year.

  4. I say, drop the windows,and just offer android! (add a touch screen to make it complete)

    which version of the aspire was used or supported? I have an aspire one aoa150 zg5 and would like to run it with android. Currently dual booting it with win7 ult and jolicloud. Or if anyone can help here i would appreciate it. Picked up an apad and now im hooked, or intrigued with this os.
