Uncertainty surrounds Android Eee PC

A news report suggests netbook pioneer Asus has assembled a team to put Google's Android OS on its popular range of Eee netbook PCs, reports iTWire. However, as the project is still “in development”, an Android Eee is not guaranteed.

As the existing Android OS has already been ported to the HP Mininote and other netbook computers, there has been speculation over when Google would transform its Linux-based mobile phone OS into one that would run on netbooks or more powerful desktop and portable computers.

Now Bloomberg has come out with a report stating that Asus has put together a development team to officially bring the Android OS to Eee PCs, although Asus aren't yet saying whether an Android Eee will definitely be released or not.
