Seriously, why the fuck even try? As a technical experiment...?? Why don't they focus on putting Android on more embedded devices? Leave the netbook business to real Linux distros and Windows!]]>Jan 5th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/
Netbooks are already crippled devices (low powered cpu, low RAM, low resolution display, small display, etc.). And, when you look at what most people do even on a desktop, Android is probably "good enough", with a few enhancements (IMO, about 6 easy to fix things need to be addressed). People who are looking for a "desktop replacement" type device, with the ability to run heavy apps, they shouldn't be on a netbook anyway. They should be on a laptop or desktop.

People who don't need a desktop replacement, but just a device that's up to common tasks (Email, Calendar, IM, RSS, basic web browsing) should be just fine on an Android netbook, or even an Android based thin-client. The only thing that's truly missing, IMO, is document editing (that's one of the things on my 6 items to make Android realistic as a netbook/thin-client OS: full Google Docs support, the other five are: full Gmail, full Google Reader, better VNC support, a few more IM/chat options (multiple Google Talk accounts, non-Google Jabber accounts, IRC accounts), and SyncML client for Calendar).

The real question is: what kind of idiot runs Windows on a netbook?

The line between the Mobile OS and desktop OS will continue to blur. Sorry if that isn't your thing...]]>Jan 5th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/Jan 5th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/
That brings me to the G1 and Android. The only problem I have with it is not enough internal space, and no way to install applications to microSDHC media. The App Market application has grown to 25MB (I think it was 8MB or less when I got it) and I have had to remove applications I wanted to keep on it. I was a big Palm fan back in the day, and moved on to Windows PocketPC and later Windows Mobile with my Dash. With the G1, I find that install and use way more applications on it since they run very well (even if they are first attempts at applications in many cases). So, you tend to get carried away and install anything that looks cool. Since you can run multiple apps at once easily, well, you tend to gather a lot of stuff on it that seems great at the time. :-)

Running Android on a laptop, even a current size netbook, seems like a huge waste of hardware. I have a few apps for playing music and interacting with YouTube videos on the G1, but someone could just use a single app on the netbook for what they want (Amarok, Windows Media Player, etc). Also, you can get a much nicer office suite with native support for files you use rather than poking around with whatever alpha-grade software is available (not to mention it would have been designed for a small touch screen rather than a "large" regular screen). But, they did it and I guess that was the point.]]>Jan 5th 2009 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/Jan 5th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/Jan 5th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/
So, Engadget, are we now going to see a post for every single netbook port of Android out there? Because, you know, it wasn't all that thrilling the first time (Linux-based OS compiled for different platform! News at 11!) and just gets more and more stale with every new post...]]>Jan 5th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/Jan 5th 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/move-over-eee-android-now-running-on-hp-mini-note-2133/
