Maybe we'll hit that oh so desired $200 price tag now? This should help drive the price down on some models. Maybe we’ll hit that oh so desired $200 price tag now?

If android comes out on standard intel atom platform netbooks then there really is no point. Ubuntu netbook remix offers an already built for netbooks interface, plus compatibility with the whole debian ecosystem. If we are talking about arm hardware, than android could be killer, so long as the hardware is attractive, and priced at around $250 or less.

I would rather get the laptop without any OS and install an open source OS. And save $50. Still I wouldn’t want to pay an extra $50 for Windows when buying a new laptop.
