Android / Windows 7 Dual Boot Netbook Disappoints

Barence writes "PC Pro has got its hands on Acer's Aspire One D250 with both Windows 7 and Google Android installed. Anyone who's played with an Android phone had better get ready for a let-down: Android is far from ready for netbooks. The review laments the lack of a proper Marketplace, the poor implementation of both the inbuilt browser and Firefox, and the general pointlessness of it all in its current incarnation as a quick-boot alternative. Yes, it will get better, but at the moment it's hardly going to lure people away from even Windows 7."

    It's a plot! Redmond is secretly paying off Acer to do this, so that they can give Android a bad rap and save Windows CE. I have proof but I can't take my tinfoil hat off right now....

    It reminds me of watching Chris Matthew on Hardball.

    Anyone who criticizes Obama or supports the 2nd amendment is automatically a lifetime member of the KKK and believes Obama was born on Pluto.

    Good thing he's the only cable news personality to behave in such a manner.

    Nah, a more fitting slogan would be "Slashdot: Because we just don't care anymore."
