Wed, 07/08/2009 - 2:37pmThis is a "competitor" to windows, mac os x, and linux derivatives. It looks like they're trying to develop something that is fairly targeted to the "netbook" segment, as opposed to handhelds (for which they already have android next to iphone/windows mobile (lol)/palm whatever), and high end computers, which will probably always be windows dominated.

Looks like it's being developed in parallel but separately from Android, the other OS they're working on which, from what I've read, is supposed to be more cross-platform than oriented around a specific niche (web browsing).
