Netronix is currently working hand in hand with Texas Instruments in order to develop e-ook readers that are powered by the Google Android operating system, where they are looking at over a million units’ worth of shipment sometime next year. These Netronix e-book readers can also interoperate with other Android-powered handsets as well as embedded devices for added functionality. Apart from that, Netronix also wants to incorporate 3G or 3.5G modules into their e-book readers, transforming so that the digital reading devices can be transformed into personal communications devices as well. Exciting times are ahead of us, eh?

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.
