 Acer Confirms Dual Boot Android Laptop

 Acer has just released their plans for their new Android Laptop and it includes a dual boot; Android with XP.   The Android OS is missing some of the features which users want.  For an extra $20 the XP boot adds the additional features albeit with a speed penalty.  So the user has the choice: high speed when Android is running and full feature set but lower speed with Win XP.  The risk in offering an Android only laptop is that customers will expect the Android OS to run windows applications.  Walmart dropped the Linux gPC from their shelves because of the high return rate.  Customers were unhappy when they brought their PC's home and it wouldn't run office or other 'PC' programs.. 

In other news Acer CEO JT  Wang also revealed that he expects that telecom providers may be the biggest customers of the new Android Laptops. Wang has estimated that Acer's notebook shipments in the second half of 2009 will grow 30-40% compared to the first.  http://www.AndroidLaptop.com
