UK gadget site Pocket Lint has today uploaded a review of the Acer Aspire One D250 – a “netbook” enlivened by the fact it dual-boots both Google Android and Windows 7 Starter Edition, letting you aimlessly browse the Android Market on a 10.1″ 1024 x 600 screen.
But… why would you really want to do that? Look at all that empty space.
The verdict? PL has gone with a 7/10 which seems rather generous, given the pasting the D250′s slow performance (Intel Atom processors don’t deserve ANY of the praise they get) and the staggeringly average three-hour battery life they claim the machine offers.
Android’s nice and everything, but we shudder in terror at the thought of having to use it as a “main” OS.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
