Dell Android Netbook Coming Soon

on 05/06/2009, filed in Home > Computers

There’s mounting evidence that Dell is considering building an Android netbook. The latest to date is news coming from BSquare, a mobile software company that has announced that it is working on porting Adobe Flash Lite 3.17 to Dell’s Netbooks running on Android.

The thing is: Dell has not announced any Android laptop.. oops? Anyhow, such a move would not be surprising: competitors like MSI are jumping on the Android wagon as well. The real question is what kind of added value will Android brings and will consumers bite? So far, buyers ended up asking for Windows.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Dell: Dell Inc. is one of largest technology corporations in the world. Michael Dell started the company in 1984, and it sold computers built from stock components. Previously named PCs Limited, the company created the "Turbo PC," the company's first computer. In 1988, the company changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation. Dell sells personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, and computer peripherals. Dell acquired computer hardware company Alienware in 2006, and Perot Systems, an information technology services provider, in 2009. Dell is also considered as the third largest PC vendors in the world, next to HP and Lenovo (as of 12/30/2013).
