Asus unveils all-band 3G netbook running Google Android

,----[ Quote ]
| It’s easy to see why Asus would continue to seek alternatives to Windows. 
| Google’s Android is free, which helps in the ultra price-competitive netbook 
| segment pioneered by Asus. It’s also economical on resources, and offers one 
| click access to Google Apps online; handy if your netbook has next to no 
| storage space.

| [...]
| 
| Keeping its bets open, Asus also demo’d a second version of the SnapDragon 
| netbook running Xandros Linux.

The whole marketing blitz from ASUS was just paid-for advertisement (shilling)
for Microsoft.

| Then, one of the makers of Netbooks will release a fantastic product using
| the paid Ubuntu/Netbook Remix, which will make us all forget about the EeePC
| — or, maybe we’ll remember it as one of the makers which used GNU/Linux in
| order to launch a product, and then gave in to Microsoft’s pressure.
|
| The real question is: will the next maker manage to resist Microsoft’s
| pressure? Or will everybody end up closely tied up with Microsoft?
