Android is now the world\u2019s most used operating system \u2013 it\u2019s used on over a billion phones and tablets. It\u2019s easy to use and there are over a half million apps for it \u2013 many of them free.

During a recent interview, an Intel executive told <a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-1001_3-57581500-92\/android-notebooks-yep-intel-says-and-theyll-only-cost-%24200\/\">CNET<\/a> that the company will soon begin selling its own line of Intel Atom-powered Android notebooks for around $200. That\u2019s the same price of the cheapest Android tablets, such as the Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7. <\/p>\n<p>According to Intel\u2019s chief product officer, Dadi Perlmutter, these cheap notebooks will offer touch screens and have Atom processors under the hood. The next chip in Intel\u2019s lineup is codenamed Bay Trail, which promises twice the performance of yesteryear\u2019s netbooks along with much longer battery life. <\/p>\n<p>Analyst firm IDC recently reported that the PC industry suffered the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.laptopmag.com\/windows-8-shipments-biggest-drop-ever\">steepest decline ever<\/a> in the first quarter. The firm attributed part of this decline to Windows 8\u2032s learning curve but also blamed the demise of low-cost netbooks. Android-powered laptops could help fill that void.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/3aL4GR\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em><u>Read more here.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft continues to commit blunder after blunder &#8212; now it appears Microsoft is trying to get back the past &#8212; the next major Windows Update will make Windows 8 like Windows 7.
