For those of you who want the Amazon app store on this device, go to amzn.to / getappstore

i just buy a Acer one but i wanna know why they put an Android OS on it ? can u download apps and what is the point of it ?

[MW2mostwanted]

Android Is useless on the machine, how do I remove it from the system?

[Arabhacks]

Android will indeed run on an x86 as will most forms of linux.



[gilen0]

tell me the model exact of the acer..???

[danwat1234]

So this computer is X86 only right? It doesn't have both an x86 Atom processor and also an ARM processor as well?

I did not know that Android can be compiled to work with X86!

Must be a different version that the one on Smart phones ... more features .. more capabilities .. not a direct port to X86..

[danwat1234]

Darn it .. didn't show the boot time of win 7

[laughter1953]

this is bullshit its not real people. it says dialer. you cant have a dialer on a computer.

[XIIISlaughters]

It's android.. The Dialer is a dummy dialer for people who want to develop with it. It is a open sourced Operating System you know...

[claudiokun2007]

@laughter1953 please inform yourself better before commenting 'bullshit'... it is a real setup.

I just got this same model from someone who asked me to do a setup installation of several applications...

[DimosDigitals]

@laughter1953 Its not fake man , its called AndroidInstantON and is given with the specific acer netbook!

Its a pc version for faster booting!

Ask uncle GOOGLE too before trying to play smart!

it looks like they put no effort into customizing Android for the device since the home screen background image doesn't fit the screen. Way to go going the extra inch to make it nice for your customers Acer.

I also liked how the Windows boot was clipped so you don't see how long that took. Still nice to see dual boot being allowed on computers. Too bad BeOS was never allowed to dual boot on computers shipped with Windows.

Plus... From this vid Android looks bloody horrible on this netbook. if donut looks better then maybe but you have to remember that android relies on the user to make the experience personal by changing background ( and currently rooting to do other things). I dont think android will take off on netbooks, why should it when they are getting more powerful and able to run a full os.

[barryallott]

I would hardly call 24 secs instant on for android. why not just boot into win 7

[gaijintendo]

Wait a minute. Firefox? When is that coming out for android??

[gaijintendo]

Didn't think the browser might have been interesting?

I assume you end up with mobile sites half the time. I am curious to know how well they handle the screen real estate.
