Qualcomm Demos Eee PC Running Android OS

Posted by timothy on from the parallel-convergence dept.

angry tapir writes "Qualcomm has showed off a version of Asustek Computer's Eee PC based on its Snapdragon processor at the Computex exhibition, including one running Google's Android operating system. The new laptop — which Qualcomm calls a smartbook — is thinner and lighter than current members of Asustek's Eee PC netbook lineup because the 1GHz Snapdragon processor that it uses does not require a heat sink or a cooling fan."

    Actually, The OP noted that he would like to run Android on his x86 netbook. So I think you missed the point.
