Come 1st July, Acer will be releasing the Acer Aspire One D260 netbook. What makes this netbook special is its unique ability to dual boot with Android OS and Windows 7.
This is a great option for buyers interested in a 15 second boot time, but it comes with a catch. The Android OS option is just that, an option.
"And, as an option the Aspire One D260 can be preloaded with Android OS, ensuring ultra-fast access to Internet, along with Microsoft Windows 7. Starting up the netbook with Android you will be able to surf the web or check your email in just about 15 seconds!"
The Acer Aspire One D260 features a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600. Processing comes in the form of an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N455 processor, and there is also Intel GMA 3150 graphics, plus 2GB of RAM. The D260 will be available in a selection colors that includes black flake, purple flake, pink flake and charcoal flake.
Acer has yet to reveal how much this netbook will sell for, and whether or not the netbook will be a success with the masses is still questionable.
