Google’s Android is the talk of the town with devices of all shapes and sizes getting announced running the platform. However, of all these devices just about every one of them is either a tablet or a smartphone. NEC seems to think there is an unfilled niche as they have come forward to show off the Android 2.2 powered LifeTouch Note netbook. Yes, you read that right – an Android powered netbook, something we haven’t seen in quite a while.
This device features a 7-inch touchscreen display, NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, 2 megapixel camra, 8GB of built-in storage, 802.11 b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0 port and an SDHC slot. NEC will also be giving the consumers the choice of either a 3G model or a WiFi model with prices varying.
In fact, NEC has told us that the WiFi only version of the LifeTouch Note will run $540 while the 3G-enabled version will sell for $660. I don’t knwo about you guys but with some Honeycomb slapped on here the NEC LifeTouch Note might be an interesting device. But Android 2.2 on a netbook seems very meh.
