Google It's not very surprising as we've all speculated a full-fledged Google OS for years, then Google's mobile OS hit the phone market, and now we've seen it (Android, of course) already installed and working dutifully on netbooks. It's not rock-solid, but Google's CEO has hinted that there'll be subsidized, Android-powered netbooks backed by Google or its partners arriving to the netbook scene soon.

Android on netbooks is not for people reading OSNEWS, it is for people who don't know what an IP address is.

Most people can work cellphones which have a lot of bells an whistles. Using the same cellphone style UI would translate to a simple computer which most people can operate. I would guarantee that a simple UI would mean that my mum could actually use email.

I'd even use it because it would mean that stuff just works kinda like my cellphone just works.
