Dear Erik: It is a good idea to take Android as netbook operationg system and I think those features might be integrated into netbook in the future since it is called as netbook. Comparing to smart phone, netbook gets larger screen for reading and operation. Surely, I think so that there shall be touch screen for netbook if it running Anrdoid.
If Erik or any one knows any company develops Android for netbook?
