if you believe that one washington state software program business, personal computer large dell is coming out with a netbook that employs google’s operating system instead of microsoft computer software.
google android os was developed for smart phones, but it’s proven attractive to makers of other devices, like netbooks
Office 2007 License, for its potential to break their dependency on microsoft computer software and intel chips.
unlike microsoft’s windows software program — which most netbooks currently use — android is free. and it runs on chips that use arm architecture, which are made by companies other than intel. as the wsj reported in april, hewlett-packard has been looking at android for possible future netbooks.
so it was with interest that we saw a press release this morning from a software program organization called bsquare, which said it’s coming up with a system to use certain adobe systems software on heretofore unannounced “dell netbooks running google’s android platform.”
update
Office Pro 2007 Key, 2:30 p.m.: dell and bsquare now say the announcement of dell’s allegedly forthcoming android netbook shouldn’t have been made. dell spokesman andrew bowins said the press release was published “in error
Windows 7 License,” though he didn’t deny — or confirm — that the laptop large is working on such a device. “dell constantly assesses new technologies as part of managing our product development process and for consideration in future products
Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010,” he wrote in an email. a bsquare spokeswoman also said the press release was erroneous
Microsoft Office 2007 Pro, though she didn’t specify what was incorrect about it.
