Netbooks, Google Android Look to Thrive Despite the Economy
,----[ Quote ]
| While netbooks are becoming more powerful—and are in the throes of evolution,
| some say—ABI asserts that the more important changes have been at the lower
| end of the market, and that to create more inexpensive devices, designers are
| turning to Linux and the Google Android operating system.
|
| Research firm Strategy Analytics expects to see the Android mobile operating
| system take 12 percent of global smartphone shipment market share by 2012, as
| well as show growth in other device segments, which is already in evidence
| this year.

Android set-top box in the works
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Android operating system is about to start showing up in a whole
| slew of consumer electronic devices other than cell phones, according to
| recent reports.
|
| The Web site Android Guys reported late last week that Motorola is building a
| TV set-top box for Japanese telephone and broadband service provider KDDI.
| The new device is expected to be ready in time for the Japan's largest
| electronics show, CEATEC, which will be held in October.

Assessing Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite being pressed by me, he wouldn't get into specifics (now, there's a
| surprise) about sales, saying only that they had exceeded expectations. But
| he did reveal that according to their market research, G1s were selling at
| 70-80% the rate of iPhones. Even allowing for margins of error and any
| tendency to talk up such numbers, this suggests a healthy uptake.

Google to market Android netbooks, mobile TV?
,----[ Quote ]
| Rumors have been flying recently that Google is working on a netbook
| implementation of the Linux/Java Android mobile stack, and that it is
| collaborating with Asus to develop an Android-based prototype. Asus has been
| focusing mostly on Windows XP installs for its most recent Intel Atom-based
| Eee PC netbooks. However, its early models helped Linux capture around a
| quarter of the hot netbook market.
