So much we don't know

I'm thinking that if Asus decides to design a netbook for the Android operating system, it will look very different from a regular EEE-PC.

I also think that the developers over at Asus are going to make some changes and enhancements to the operating system to make it better suit a netbook. It will probably not be exactly like the OS installed on the G1.

As for direction, Google can't really stop anyone from putting Android on whatever device they wish to put it on. It's free and open source, after all. I do think however that they have requirements when it comes to access to the Android Market place. It could be that for your Android powered netbook/phone/whatever to be able to utilize the app store, it will need a GPS (for example).

Hopefully they'll put some thought into it, and not just slap it onto a 701 they couldn't get sold with Xandros pre-installed.
