Saw a Harvey Norman advert in paper today for an Acer Aspire netbook with "Windows 7 starter & android OS" would that be froyo?

I can't find anything saying what version of Android it is. Makes me think it must be v1.6 most likely.

Thanks Linuxluver for the reply. 1.6 or 2.2, you have to wonder how they would go since they were not really developed for the PC.

Cheers

Check out Android x86 (v1.6) . I've run it on my Acer laptop. It was very fast as the OS is designed with 300MHz / 128MB RAM phones in mind. So on a laptop running at 1.6GHz with 2GB of RAM.....it was *awesome*.

I posted here about it....with pics.
