With Android-based netbooks looking like a real possibility, it comes as no surprise that Asus is working on a low-cost device powered by Google’s Android OS. Asus introduced the popular Eee sub-notebook running Linux, so Android may be a natural  fit for a new low-cost sub-notebook.

Their are many advantages for Asus to use Android:

  • Android is open, so no licensing fees
  • Google / Android branding = name recognition
  • Third-party software availability
  • Android familiarity due to Asus Android smartphone development

In order to capture market share and attract would-be Windows users to an Android-powered subnotebook, what kind of price range can we expect for an Asus Android-powered laptop? Give us your thoughts.
