Default Android up and running on Eee netbook

When Google set out to create Android they never wanted to limit it just to mobile phones such as the T-Mobile G1. Instead they designed it to eventually be compatible on everything from computers to in dash navigation systems. For now these ventures... Read more

First!....just kidding. I would buy an Eee Netbook if it had Android. Imagine a universal platform that actually works!

It would be awesome if you had your car/Netbook/phone on Android. Well, it would be if they implemented a little more synch's with there Google services. For example, notepad. Also, maps. like sending exact gps coordinates to another android phone, then if I'm somwhere and want to tell my car so I can view it later.

So, they made an x86 port of Android? That's kinda cool. I wonder if they'll be porting it to a convertible/tablet netbook (like the fujitsu U810 and U820).

What I would want to see fixed/resolved before I would use Android on a Netbook:

Google Reader is a variant of the mobile version, I want to have
at least the following added to it: keyboard shortcuts, the ability
to add/edit tags, and the total article count at the top of the
article list.

2) GMail doesn't support creating labels, nor adding/editing filters.

3) I haven't been able to get the VNC Viewer to work through SSH with
VNC Password. I want/need that. Similar support for VNC Server would be good too (I know that those apps are out there, I just haven't gotten them to all come together in a way that I can use).

4) I would vastly prefer if the netbook it was running on had 3G data
built in, and Android supported it.


Give me all of that, and I'd be all over Android on my convertible/tablet netbook with 3G data :-)

I believe this is why google is pushing for FCC to go ahead and approve FREE WIFI nationwide. That way they can move on in passing MSFT in every possible aspect. That will sooner or later happen - but I would love to see free wifi nationwide better sooner than later

Yes... now we are getting places. Now just slap an Android on a MID or convertible FTW!

I think a 5-8inch touch screen is the sweet spot for something you can easily carry around and not have to mess around with a touchpad on a netbook. I HATE touchpads. It's like sex with a condom, just kinda lame and sloppy.

What would be the use of Android on a Netbook?

Wouldn't you be way better of with windows ... literally ... not just microsoft windows but a system that actually supports (gui) windows (resize etc.). I mean with android an different devices , different screen sizes, different cpu power, different input mehtods .... developers won't put effort in on applications that support all devices. If you get lucky there might be a community putting there time and money into producing especially for an android netbook. But even then ... why not using the benefit of a mature system with tons of applications and a window driven gui?

While this is an interesting proof of concept (that Android can run on other platforms), it's really nothing more than that. I'd rather go with Ubuntu on an Eee...
