still... the android platform is way too close (drivers and many "platform" components).
Moreover the user space is that java only thingy... erk!
I speak for myself.

No, you speak for me too. I wavered on Java for a long time, before coming down firmly on the side of "ick!"

That's why I'm more excited about Chrome OS tablets.

Ya, I booted Android on my EEE PC and was disappointed by the "simplicity" of the browser. Might be OK for a phone, but I want more sophistication on my netbook. I liked Crome Zero better, (but I still couldn't figure out how to change the fonts).
I predict in a few years, someone will finally understand the killer app for phone/netbook browsers: A button that reformats the text column to fit your screen exactly, without changing the font size.

What's wrong with Opera's 'Fit to Width' button?

I didn't see that button when I booted Android. ;)
Opera has a FTW button? FTW! Sounds neat, I'll have to try it on my netbook.

Hmm, I hadn't realised Opera mobile supported such a small range of devices (not owning a portable computer myself).
