Acer to debut dual-OS netbook in August

Posted on Monday, July 13 2009 @ 15:51 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Acer is reportedly planning to introduce a dual-OS netbook next month, this system would feature both Windows XP and Android.

Acer is expected to launch its previously announced dual-OS netbook, with both Windows XP and Android, in August 2009, while Quanta Computer and Compal Electronics both set to benefit from the orders, according to a Chinese-language Apple Daily report.

Since Acer still needs to pay licensing fees for Windows XP on the netbook, the product is unlikely to be priced lower than XP-only models.
