We'd already heard that ASUS was at least
considering using Android on its Eee PC netbook, and seen it wrangled onto one
unofficially (see above), but ASUS's Samson Hu has now offered a few more details that indicate just how serious the company is about the XP/Linux alternative. Apparently, ASUS has already allocated a team of engineers to work on the Android-based netbook, which Hu says could be ready by the end of the year, although the company isn't committing to actually releasing a product until it sees how things pan out. No further word on ASUS's other
Android experiments, unfortunately, but it seems safe to bet that ASUS is devoting even more attention to those, at least if its
latest timeline is any indication.
