Acer Android and Windows 7 netbooks coming soon

Posted on Wednesday, October 14 2009 @ 3:23 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Engadget reports Acer is working on a dual-boot Android/WinXP and also a Windows 7 based version of its Aspire One D250 netbook.

Your $349 will get you a dual-booting machine with good 'ol XP taking up the other partition -- a good thing, that, because Android in this application has been said to be half-baked at best. Meanwhile, Acer is also showing off a version of the D250 running Windows 7, which is set to hit Japan next week.
