Hewlett-Packard confirmed Tuesday that it is testing Google's Android operating system as a possible alternative to Windows in some of its netbook computers.
Analysts said the move would allow HP to develop a low-cost netbook
optimized for wireless networks that provides access to Web-based
services such as Google Docs, but others questioned whether the Google
software is ready for such a task.
HP stressed that it was still only
testing Android, an OS based on the open-source Linux kernel. It has
assigned engineers to the task but has made no decision yet whether to
offer Android in products, said HP spokeswoman Marlene Somsak.

barely finished for phones," said Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current
Analysis. While it works well enough for T-Mobile's G1 smartphone, the
software was released only last year and "the UI still feels
half-finished," he said.
