Chase Asus ? Acer is the second biggest PC maker in the world.]]>Jan 25th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/Jan 25th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/
Good. I hope some companies try to give Microsoft a bit of competition on the desktop. Why should MS cruise along by itself in China or India. Those people need lower cost computers and maybe running Chrome will do that for them. Apple can't beat Microsoft on the desktop, but maybe Google and Android can.]]>Jan 25th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/
yeah I know acer is the #2 company now but . . . for some reason they always remind me of the little guy that has too much to prove.]]>Jan 25th 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/
And MS doesn't make hardware, so I think this is MS vs. Google, not MS. vs. OEMs. I'm not sure what you think MS is 'cruising' with in India and China, they're having their OS pirated left right and center ...

Do you think people in China pay for Windows?

And I agree with @Daliminator - Asus' innovation is amazing. I have an EeePC 1000HE, an Eee Box as well as an Asus P5Q motherboard. Their relibility is amazing, unlike some other Acer products I had. ]]>Jan 25th 2010 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/Jan 25th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/Jan 25th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/acer-to-launch-e-reader-app-store-and-chrome-os-netbook-this-y/

by no mean acer is waiting for what apple is doing next, its the industry as a whole. and whats wrong with copying ppl's idea if you can make profit out of it? american has been doing the same thing for years! its called BUSINESS. Innovation is for the idealist tech smart asses, for business ppl to make money out of their efforts.

The population of the US is greater than that of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan combined.

HP and Dell is in America; Lenovo is in China; Asus, Acer, MSI and many others are in Taiwan; Samsung and LG are in Korea; countless companies such as Sony, Toshiba, and Fujitsu are in Japan.
