Truth or lie
Android OS 3.0 and Chrome could become an opportunity for manufacturers to launch netbooks market prices below 200 euros. They have already started to read rumors about Asus and Sony.
Netbooks are the cheapest computers on the market and figures can be found for departing from the vicinity of 250 euros and around 300 for most models. Much of that cost is going in the Windows license, and this is because GNU / Linux did not know or could not seize this market share when you had your chance.
While the idea of cheap machine format and low benefits arose from the OLPC project was Taiwan's Asus who saw the commercial possibilities to the invention, releasing its popular Eee PC range (which, incidentally, we analyze in this same newspaper before that hit the market in Spain), although its final consecration and popularization in the audience was with Acer Aspire One and his family
Although in its early stages in the audience, Microsoft scorned the impact that these machines could have (probably considering that its success would be "flash in the pan" and would be quickly forgotten, seducing only a small percentage of consumers most technologists), something changed in Redmond to the widespread interest generated by its low price, even at the base to reduce benefits. It was, at the time, a phenomenon similar to that of the tablets that we are living now.
Microsoft's entry came in two steps: at first tried with a view that was already generating a lot of discontent, and that obviously did not work in this segment, because working with a system that requires a certain power hardware-in-one does not, is just becoming a martyr. Because of this and not wanting to lose thrust, it was decided to extend the life of XP, which allowed him to offer an alternative known, affordable and fit well with the hardware power of these machines. Windows 7 came to overcome all the above problems, finding a market already conquered by the XP.
Because, although lower prices enabled Linux machine was not well received by the general public, which in most cases only knew him by name, did not understand it, preferring to stick with something already known comoWindows. But it was Android, and the situation be now, would have sung a different story.
Google's platform has become popular and appreciated by smartphones and tablets to the mount, the general public knows, and elprecio the implantation is negligible, especially if we consider that software is free and open source (although we must always have certain technical costs for deployment in a particular hardware.) A similar response is expected of Chrome OS to the public, and that would be precisely what, according to recent rumors that are being left to hear online, take advantage of hardware manufacturers.
Names like Sony and Asus or sound between the manufacturers would launch netbooks equipped with Chrome or Android OS at a cost significantly lower than the existing supply today, coming down the psychological barrier of $ 200.
How long before we see these machines? It is expected that the disaster in Japan delayed the release of some progress at least a few months due to damage in infrastructure and manufacturing companies, and it is true that all this will affect the industry as a whole and not only Japanese companies, so we may see the first copies denetbooks flights past the summer months, from September to October.
