Acer’s plans for Android haven’t been a secret, but we have to say that this little netbook, with just enough of Google’s mobile Operating System (OS) on it to seem pretty interesting, is quite the treat. It utilizes Microsoft’s Windows XP as the main OS, but then it has the ability to quick boot into Android. You’ll be able to achieve this with Acer’s configuration manager, which is pre-installed on the system. The netbook itself features the standard 10.1-inch display. Inside, you’ll find Intel’s Atom N450 processor. You’ll also find 1GB of DDR2 DRAM, and a 160GB hard drive. Unfortunately, out of the box you’ll only get a 3-cell battery, but Acer will happily sell you a 6-cell model for an additional $95. There aren’t a lot more details to pass along, except for the price. At $375, it’s not necessarily a steal, but it won’t break the bank, either. There’s no word on official worldwide release, but that should change soon enough. [via Yahoo! News] Acer has put up for sale its Aspire One D255 netbook which is the first model of its kind to hit the US, and HSN.com (Home Shopping Network) will be the retailer who will have the honor of carrying the device. Going for $399 a pop in a quartet of color choices (red, black, aquamarine and sandstone), they will all share the same innards regardless of its exterior color. We're talking about the new 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 dual core processor, 1GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch display at 1024 x 600 resolution, coupled with an Intel GMA 3150 graphics chipset and Wi-Fi connectivity. Expect other dual core Atom processors to hit the market from various netbook manufacturers pretty soon, as they surely can't let Acer corner the market, eh?
