How about Google just puts Chrome on Android? The current Android browser is slow, and missing a ton of HTML5 features.

agree with the acer concept, was horribly implemented !

and for chromebooks i had high hopes but they are too expensive for just a browser. Also users, developers and the infrastructure in some areas/countries are not ready for it (at least for quite a few more years…). As for hybrids my favorite one is probably the moto atrix’s android/linux/ubuntu concept.

I would definitely be interested in this concept, but not sure I would actually shell the money out to buy the thing. Pricepoint would be key. I think the main reason Chromebooks haven’t really taken off is because people begrudge being expected to pay the same amount as a conventional laptop for a machine that offers less and may not do as much. For large numbers of people to even give Chromebooks a try, they need to be a fair bit cheaper than the conventional laptop alternative.

Also, if they do go the dual-boot route – they’d better do a better job of it than Acer’s useless windows/android Aspire Netbook! I bought one of those – the Android boot was useless! You couldn’t even scroll properly with it. I’m sure HTC would do a better job though.

That is one fugly Tablet. Wth. I am with you on that one. It looks like something from a 90′s Staples catalog.
