take a shit good on Google ’s continued pledge to not limit Android to just telephone set , two guy rope atVentureBeatgot Android up an running on their Eee PC 1000H. But a question comes to mind : why ?
plainly it was a patch of cake to get Android to support everything you ’d need for useable computing , including sound , graphics ( at the Eee ’s aboriginal resolution ) and wireless net . And it ’s not the first time this has happened - a Google developer showed off his successfulEee 701 porta few weeks ago .
But why would you want to consort Android on a Netbook , when in most caseful , a more traditional flavor of Linux or even Windows work just fine ? The opportunity opens the room access for even less sinewy ( and bum ) MIDs , like Nokia’sInternet Tablets . Also , the potential for a fully vane - return OS via Chrome ( which is not yet a part of the Android project , but emphatically within the realm of hypothesis ) is kind of exciting ; Chrome was establish primarily for web app , after all .
Apparently the port only necessitate around four hours , and many references to MIDs and other non - phone applications can be find in Android ’s source code . So whether it makes sentiency on an Eee PC or not , this is by all odds a guidance for Android we ’ll see more fleshed out in 2009 . [ Venture Beat ]
