Many PC designs have been created, entertaining the idea of being backed by the Google Android Operating System but to date, nothing official has been announced, with manufacturers staying with the tried and tested Windows XP or a Linux distribution.
All this has changed with the announcement of the Alpha 680, an Android netbook designed by Skytone, a Chinese manufacturer.
The new netbook comes standard with an ARM11 533MHz processor, a 7-inch screen that supports a screen resolution of 800×480 pixels, 128MB of DDR2 memory (upgradeable to 256MB), 1GB SSD (upgradeable to 4GB SSD), Wi-Fi wireless network connectivity and keyboard with touchpad.
The Alpha 680 will retail for $250 in the third quarter of 2009.
