Not really fair to compare Android with other Linux netbook options
Android is a Linux kernel with a slim Java based interface, with no traditional glibc libraries and such. It also lacks features basic like printing.

Other Linux netbook offerings (like Ubuntu) are full fledged desktop operating systems that are tweaked for the smaller screen and slightly slower processor (but not tweaked THAT much). They offer just as complete an experience as all other Linux desktop operating systems, which all offer just as complete of a user experience as any other operating system.
