Netbooks with Android will definitely be more popular than those using other operating systems. The reason for this is the sheer force of Android’s features. The system boasts storage, connectivity, java support, media support, and multi-touch.

Asus and Acer virtually became household names, as a result of netbooks. Imagine all the free media coverage for the first company to commercially offer Android on a netbook would get.

I think Android on a netbook is a low hanging fruit that someone is bound to pick, this year.
