When computer makers started talking about using the Google Android operating system on netbooks earlier this year, I kind of laughed and moved on. After all, the OS was developed for cellphones with tiny touchscreens, not mini-laptops with higher resolution screens, keyboards, and touchpads. But software company ThunderSoft is making me think twice about Google Android’s viability in the netbook space. In a demo video posted on YouTube this week, you can see a computer running a tweaked version of Google Android that supports the following features:
Ability to display multiple windows on the same creen
Support for screen resolutions up to 1280 x 720
Drag, drop, or maximize windows
