Chinese netbook seller, ePrice.com got their hands on a pre-release version of the upcoming Acer Aspire one D250 and has done their quick review of the said netbook. In case you forgot already, the Aspire One D250 is the same netbook that will be released again for the simple reason that it was pre-loaded with the Android OS. That’s in addition to Windows XP of course.

Yes, the Aspire One D250 is a dual-booting netbook which we could say is Acer’s way of testing out the viability of an Android-powered netbook. But based on the initial review of ePrice, it seems that the Aspire D250 is a little disappointing.

Although the netbook boots and shut downs relatively fast, Acer did not do anything though to modify its interface. Meaning, the Android OS is a straight out port of the version that you see in Android phones.

In addition, direct access to the Android Market was also removed so finding apps to use could be difficult.

So, hopefully Acer and whoever is responsible for the Android port will do something to improve the performance of the Android before the netbook is officially released.
