While most people seem to be rooting for Android to make its debut and bridge the gap between phones and netbooks, apparently there are a few who, for varied reasons, think Android ought stay away from netbooks and stick to what it knows best: smartphones.

The most common pitfall with linux was always the lack of modern, easy (well documented, tool supported) and stable api for end user applications.
Android seems to have fixed it and I guess when talking about putting it on non-handheld devices this fact should be regarded mostly taken into account.
With phone resolutions topping at 800x480 we may reach the convergence sooner that we think.
I don't know about the layout flexibility of such applications but netbook screen sizes (1024/600) weren't best suitable for contemporary app sizes either.
