Hp loads android onto a netbook – The Inquirer

HP has joined Acer by putting Google’s Linux-based Android operating system on a netbook.
Branded as a Compaq device, HP’s Airlife 100 netbook is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processor that’s found in a number of recently released smartphones including Google’s Nexus One.
In fact the main differences between the two devices seem to be the screen size and the almost full-size keyboard on the HP unit.
The HP Airlife 100 has a 10.1-inch screen with a 16GB SSD bolstered by an SD card slot. This sort of back-to-basics netbook specification is livened up by integrated WiFi, 3G and GPS. It’s the 3G connectivity that has led to HP partnering with Telefonica to provide wireless access.
