HP Studying Android Netbooks
According to the WSJ, HP is looking at what it can do in Netbooks using Android, the operating system that Google created (by acquiring a startup) for mobile phones. The more interesting question is: Will Android computers from HP would come with built-in 3G (operators could be a nice market to get) or if they will be better than the flavor of Linux that HP currently use? Also, will they feature a touch display?
The fact that HP is looking at this has been confirmed by HP’s VP Satjiv Chahil. However whether or not that would become a product is a different question.
Other companies have been talking about something similar (Asus, Qualcomm, TI…), some using PC hardware, others using a much lower-power mobile phone platform. Hopefully, both will be plenty cheap.
