Freescale bets on Googlebook


What is Googlebook, it seems you have already guessed! This is the so-called Netbook, that the idea should not work under Linux or Windows, but under the Android OS from Google. While they do not exist, but their appearance on the market only a matter of time. As it became known at MWC'09 Freescale formally declared its intention to submit the first specifically designed for mobile devices, the processor in the II quarter of this year.

According to estimates Freescale, this year will be sold not less than 30 mil. Netbook, and this explains why an American company has developed its own platform for mobile devices. Its main advantage - low cost. According to Freescale, the cost Netbook, built on this platform, will not exceed $ 200.

While Freescale is focusing its attention on the markets of developed countries, it does not forget about developing countries. Currently, the American company is negotiating with the Indian company Encore Software for Netbook shipments to the educational program developed by the Government of India.
