Consider HP as yet another company that is into getting in Android business. Acer was one of those companies that banked on its Android netbooks to reach to more people. But Android is not something that is going to go away anytime soon. It’s only a matter of time before more netbook manufacturers take their chance with Android. In case of HP, that risk comes in form of a new Compaq netbook.

Compaq AirLife 100 netbook combines a 10.1-inch diagonal screen, 16 GB storage, and Android operating system to give you power and flexibility on the road. You may find these specs to be on the low-end of things. But netbooks were never meant to be for heavy duty work. Besides, Android is not as convoluted code-wise as Windows Vista or 7.

The browser has become the desktop for many people, and the new Compaq AirLife is the next evolution of a mobile computer that is streamlined specifically for the Web. This new type of user lives life online and no longer measures computing speeds and feeds, but rather friends, people and online social ranks.

Considering that this device is expected to provide us with 12 hours of battery per charge with up to 10 days in stand-by mode, it may be the only Compaq-branded product on the market worth owning.
