In yet another breaking news, Taiwanese OEM Asus could be launching its range of laptops adorning either Honeycomb aka Android 3.0 or Google Chrome OS. The price segment of the Netbook is £120 ($200-$250).
With no software licence to pay for Google’s open source and a general reduction in the cost of parts, Asus price tag is still cheap when compared to Kingpins like the iPad 2 and Motorola Xoom.
Asus is no newbie to the netbook market. It launched the Linux powered Eee PC in 2007 that started the craze in the first place, but soon found competition from virtually every manufacturer looking to get into on the game with cheaper and more powerful devices.
Now that the company is facing threats from the tablet market and netbook competitors, it’s time to turn to Google.
With Google Chrome OS tipped for a summer release and Taiwanese tradeshow Computex happening in May we shouldn’t have long to wait.
