Not so much for the OP, but since it's on the general topic:

Asus to make $200 Netbook running Android or Chrome OS.


Personally, I'd be very happy if this becomes reality. Though my larger than average hands agree with Scott about small keyboards, I'd still like to have a small netbook for travel or just surfing on the move. An Android OS would be low overhead, which should make the performance better than that crap Dell / Windows netbook I had a couple of years ago - good enough for surfing the web and watching NHL Gamecentre, which is what I'd use it for. Not to mention, a free OS keeps the price down, and Android apps are pretty cheap when they aren't free.

At $200, it's cheap enough that I can have my laptop and netbook too. I don't care for tablets, I like having a keyboard.
