Doubt it.

Not unless Android gets a lot more powerful, does some of the things Windows does, Multitasking, new interface, better Apps and new devices.

For instance the Padphone2 with a hwkbd, microSD, microHDMi, USB 3.0, 4GB RAM, Quadcore A15 cpu.... plus ew software.

Then yeah maybe.

Chrome OS and Android will mature and cross pollinate and will eventually create a single desktop -> mobile solution. This 11.6-inch ARM-based Samsung is another step in that direction. Google will get smart and widen the Chrome OS charter.

Four Google years is like ten Microsoft years.

I think I'll take Samsung and a dual-core Cortex A-15 over Inventec and a single core Atom.

The external design. Aesthetics.

The article does not suggest that Android will supplant the Windoze desktop machine, only that there will be more 'computing devices' running Andoid than Windoze. Many people purchase new smartphones/tablets far more often than new desktop machines, so it's quite feasible.

This new device should smoke the original.
