Toshiba AC100 Android Netbook to Launch

Toshiba is putting the finishing touches to the UK launch of the Toshiba AC100 netbook. Toshiba UK made the announcement via its Twitter link. Could this be the start of a whole new wave of interest for the netbook? Read on to find out about the Toshiba AC100 Android netbook and what it has to offer…

The Toshiba AC100 is an ultra-thin mobile computing device that runs the Android operating system. Although more usually found on mobile phones like the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S, Android is a flexible operating system that is more than capable of running on a netbook.

The AC100 weighs just 899g and is just 14mm thick. It has a 10.1 inch TruBrite display with graphics courtesy of an nVidia Tegra 250 processor. As befits a mobile device, the AC100 comes with 3G networking built in as well as WiFi so you can be up and surfing anywhere.

The standout feature of the AC100 is the battery life, however. Toshiba are claiming an amazing 180 hours of standby time and 8 hours of constant use making this a real contender if you need to take a lightweight web device on holiday or for long business trips.
