Pegatron Working On an Android Netbook

We have heard a lot about Android netbooks in the past, but there hasn’t been enough momentum to make it a major alternative to Windows on netbooks. Pegatron is one of those companies that are  working to change all that. It is introducing a new 10 inch netbook to the market that will come equipped with an ARM processor that can easily run Android, and while the company hasn’t said much about using Android on these machines, you can expect the company to strongly consider it.

Android netbooks can be a bit cheaper than their Windows counterparts, and they are just as capable. While Android doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles that you get with Windows 7, it does allow you to get the job done when you are on the go. Nobody expects Android become a big challenger to Windows 7, but it can certainly holds its own among folks who are tired of using Windows as their operating system. Hopefully more netbook manufacturers will jump on Android bandwagon to give consumers more alternatives in this market.
