BenQ backs Android
Google-based smartphone and netbook en route
BenQ has become the latest tech firm to join Android’s ever-expanding band of supporters by announcing plans to develop both a smartphone and a netbook based on the Google OS.
A company representative confirmed that it’s aiming to bring an Android-based handset to market in 2010, IDG reports. But a launch date for its Android netbook hasn’t yet been announced.
BenQ already has experience of both the PC and handset markets. For example, it’s already launched several Windows Mobile-based smartphones, such as the E72 – reviewed here — and recently unveiled its AMD-based nScreen i91 all-in-one nettop. ®

Thank <insert deity here> for that!
Why do mobile manufacturers hinder their phones by using Windows Mobile?
S60 is a *bit* better, although hasn't been updated since apes started using tools.
With a Linux kernel (and OS?) it's going to be fast and flexible (if allowed :( )
