The Computex 2009 is certainly starting to heat up as more press releases and coverage are starting to appear online. As usual, Asus is taking the lead among its rivals as early as now with their Computex 2009 goodies. Aside from the Eee PC 1101HA Seashell, Asus is also showing off its first non-Intel, Google Android-powered netbook.
Sporting almost the same form factor as the 1008HA Seashell, this Android /Snapdragon Eee PC netbook runs on ARM processor running on 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset with of course the Google Android OS.
With the SnapDragon processor, said Asus netbook offers up 720p HD video acceleration. Other features include integrated GPS and 3G Modem.
Best thing about this netbook is the fact that it doesn’t emit too much heat, obviously because of its low power consumption. In addition, said netbook is said to have the ability to give out up to 10 hours of good use.
Finally, since it is a lighweight netbook with minimal power requirement, the Asus Android netbook can practically stay connected “always” as in 24/7 perhaps. It’s like having an over-sized Google Android phone. Well, that’s really the idea, I guess.
