Acer
announced it will debut Android based netbooks in Q3 2009.
"Today's netbooks are not close to perfection at all. In two years, it will all be very different," Jim Wong, Acer's global president for IT products, told a news conference at Computex, the world's second-largest PC trade show held in Taipei.
"If we do not continue to change our mobile Internet devices, consumers may not choose then any more."
Wang declined to give any shipment targets or prices for the Android netbooks, which will run on Intel's (INTC.O) low-cost and low-performance Atom processor, but said the company would continue to ship netbooks with Microsoft Windows.
