The site Samsunghub sees the position of the company as a movement to check the receptivity and to test the potential of their products before doing agreements to involve other marks, differently that happens with Acer, that is working in equipments with the new operating system.

Recently, Asus interrupted the production of a new model of Eee PC with Android. The given justification is that the technology of the project is not still totally ripened, besides not being a priority of the development team.
