Photos: Google Android dual boots with Windows 7 on Acer netbook

A look at the latest kit from Acer, including the Liquid smartphone...

Here's the netbook running the Android OS. Acer said the advantage of an Android boot option is much faster loading and shut down times - the company claims netbook users can starting chatting, sending emails or searching the net within 18 seconds by booting into Android, while the device can be shut down in three seconds when running the open source OS.

Users requiring full-fat Windows computing can switch OSes when needed, it added.

The 10.1-inch display netbook will launch at the end of this month.
