Toshiba prepping Android notebook

Looks like Toshiba will soon be unveiling its first ever Android notebook. This notebook has two really exiting features – first is the Nvidia Tegra processor and seconds, it runs Android operating system.

This Toshiba netbook, currently known by AC100-114, has a 10.1-inch 1024×600 pixel display, Google Android OS 2.1, 16GB SSD, 512MB RAM, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 1x HDMI port, 1x VGA port, 1.3MP webcam and a 3-cell 2200mAh battery. Do not underestimate its runtime as it is not running a power-hungry OS like Windows 7. We are expecting around 5 hours of runtime on a single charge

Nvidia Tegra-Powered Netbook to be launched later this year

We are finally going to see a sub-$200 netbook soon as Nvidia’s Tegra Netbook is finally going to be launched at the end of this year. It will come with the new Tegra chip which also going to be used in the upcoming Microsoft Zune HD. This chip lets you enjoy full HD and Flash videos.

Nvidia has not unveiled the full specs yet, but they do have a prototype on display that features an 8.9-inch screen, Wi-Fi, 3G, and webcam. It does run Windows OS, but it is not Windows XP. Instead, it runs Microsoft CE OS. Nvidia also mentioned that the final product could be loaded with the Google Android OS.

Take a look at its picture, it is still using the small right shift key. It spoils the overall typing experience. They should better fix this before releasing the final product.
