As it is, high profile OSs like Ubuntu and Android are struggling to get apps ported, developed there compared to say iPhone. I have previoulsy bought into the hype of the N800 and have been pretty much stuck with the stock apps bar one or two real gems, but that's it.

I think the market is fragmented enough as it is. There aren't enough developer for all those different platforms.

So yay for netbooks, but Asus shoudl really port over Android et Ubuntu netbook, and not Moblin/maemo etc.]]>Aug 7th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/

Sure, Eeebuntu and Ubuntu are free. Big deal. If they don't properly support the tablet hardware, then that's a useless statement for you to make.]]>Aug 7th 2009 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/2. asus make apple hardware

Win7 runs just as good, or better, than XP on my Aspire One. The AA1 could barely handle Vista once Firefox or Chrome was open with a few tabs. Only Mac Cultists and Linux Gurus who haven't actually tried it would say the kind of bulls#it you're spreading.

I've tried Moblin and Ubuntu Netbook Remix (oh and FreeBSD) on the AA1, and NONE of them are as convenient as having Windows 7 on it (though I still have Moblin around, for quick booting minimal tasks, it's not bad).

If ASUS is gonna start serving up Moblin and Chrome OS, their retailers better get ready for the high return rate.]]>Aug 7th 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/
All I ask for is for companies to allow me to buy the computer without paying for a windows license. When I'm forced to do this I just throw it in the trashcan, it's just free money for uncle Bill to fight malaria or whatever. Yeah, ship Xandros, Suse, FreeDOS, whatever, I'll just format it also, and install my own Debian. Even if it came with Debian installed, I would like to install it again myself.

I can't believe there are Windows users that get all nervous when a company announces to ship a machine with something other than Windows. Aren't you satisfied to already control the other 99,9999% of the computers market? Oh you think they are wrong, they will fail, they'll go bankrupt? So what, let us follow the path to ruin IN SILENCE please.

People can be different from yourself!!! Grow up.]]>Aug 7th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/
seriously tho, i dont mind if manufacturers give people the option to get a computer with Linux on it. even tho i rarely use Linux because I do a lot of CAD work, i still appreciate the OS for what it is and I think people would be surprised at how easy some of the major distros like Ubuntu can be.]]>Aug 7th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/eee-pcs-rumored-to-ship-with-moblin-in-october-chrome-os-on-the/Aug 7th 2009 4:11PM
