The first netbook based on Google Android
Meanwhile, the Chinese company "Skytone" at the beginning of the week announced the first netbook running the Google Android platform , as reported by Engadget. It is called Alpha 680 and will cost around $ 100.

Skytone Alpha 680 runs on a 533 MHz processor based on the ARM micro-architecture. As we can see, the maximum amount of RAM is only 256 megabytes. The capacity of the flash drive netbook is from 1 to 4 GB.
The diagonal of the touch screen Skytone Alpha 680 is seven inches.
To connect the Alpha 680 to the Internet, use an Ethernet port or a wireless Wi-Fi network. As an option, you can install a 3G module in a netbook.
If the price of this netbook really is around $ 100 (as you can see, there is nothing more to pay in it), then in certain circles it will probably become quite popular. However, we have already heard many times about netbooks for $ 100, only when they were released, their price was almost always higher than promised.
The netbook looks quite “in Chinese”, there is nothing remarkable in it. I wonder how the build quality will be - as always or a little better?
By the way, earlier on the development of a netbook based on Android said the company Asus. Its prototype will appear by the end of 2009. But according to rumors, Asus has not yet decided whether to bring such a computer to the market.
In addition, HP is also interested in developing netbooks on Google Android . She is currently testing this platform on various devices.
