Acer’s just told us that it has ” no imminent plans” to bring the dual-booting Android and Windows XP Aspire One D255 stateside, and after seeing an in-depth video (no, really it’s 14 minutes long!) of the 10-inch netbook in action we will’t say we’re all that upset in regards to the news. Yep, the NetbookNews team snatched up a gentle blue version of the most recent netbook in Taipei, and though they were impressed with the thin design and included case, they’d less positive things to assert on the software end. Not only is the Windows XP desktop ridden with crapware, but the Android implementation continues to be half baked. Reminiscent of the first generation Acer Aspire One D250, the Android 2.1 interface is basically only good for searching the net and checking e-mail since it doesn’t have access to the Market. For sure, we urge you to relax and watch the lengthy hands-on video after the break to make your personal call on this $299 lappie, but ultimately, we’re assuming you’ll have a similar question as us: Acer, how’s that Chrome OS netbook coming along?
