Android ported to Google Cr-48

After OSX and Windows 7 got ported over to Google’s Cr-48 notebook, we knew it was only a matter of time before we saw Google’s own Android operating system running on the device. The same guy behind the first two ports successfully brought the mobile OS over to the (relatively) big-screen. No details have been posted about how he did it, and whether the OS is functional (after all, it is supposed to work with a touchscreen and the Cr-48 doesn’t have a touchscreen) but expect more information to be released when it’s ready for the public. Now let’s see if someone can bring BlackBerry OS or web OS to the notebook!

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.

Google: Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.
