Acer was one of the first companies to jump on the Android bandwagon and offer it on its netbook. Acer AOD250-1613 is not only capable of using Android but it comes with a dual boot system that makes it easy to switch back to XP just in case. It seems Acer is not going to stop with Android. In a recent interview with DigiTimes, Acer officials have indicated that they plan to add Chrome OS to their netbooks in late 2010:

Acer chairman JT Wang also expressed his confidence that the company will be the first vendor to launch Chrome-based netbook in the market during a recent interview with Digitimes.

Let’s keep in mind that we are a few months or maybe a year away from Chrome OS being released to the public. So it’s tough to say whether there will be more demand for Chrome OS by then. It’s a risky move by Acer as it’s unclear whether Chrome OS can go mainstream enough in a matter of few months. But I suspect Acer’s Chrome netbooks will be using a dual boot system as well. So it should be no problem for people to pick them up and give them a try. Will it be a best seller for Acer? That’s another story.
