Wednesday, 3 June 2009, 12:23

AT COMPUTEX TODAY, home grown Taiwanese firm Acer unveiled its new Aspire One netbook sporting the Android operating system.

"The Android operating system offers incredibly fast wireless connection to the Internet. For this reason, Acer has decided to develop Android netbooks," said Jim Wong, president of Acer's IT products global operation.

Apparently Acer aspires for this Android based netbook to be the first of several in its line-up, to complement its more expensive Windows OS offerings. It should be hitting shelves in the third quarter. µ

Half assed journalism again...

Today I've noticed that the news coming in seems to be just short statements, where's the photo's? could at least maybe state that it's Bite News, as these really don't class as full articles. At least with Toms Hardware, I know that what I'm clicking on is either going to be in depth or just a short news statements.

I have to agree with you as I was hoping to see a few pics of these new products. So far there isn't much depth at all and only three articles after three days of computex. With Sylvie there we won't even get any booth babe pictures, lol.(Tweaktown has some great pics and videos by the way, including lots of booth babe photos).
