We all thought that  Android was only only for mobiles phones right? Well Google has something else in mind and is planning to use Android for any device. Yes I mean any device most importantly as an OS on netbooks! Now that is something awesome!! You see a Asus EEEPC 1000H running the Android OS in the picture above.

We all know Netbooks are basically small-scale PCs, but are one of the tech industries hottest selling cupcakes. And no wonder if the Android OS comes alive, Microsoft could really face a serious threat. Combined together, Linux and Android platforms could lead to the end of Microsoft’s monopoly in the OS market as well. Let alone we have seen already a drop in the browser market share of IE due to Google’s own Chrome Browser and Mozilla Firefox.

If Google’s OHA alliance and other developers contributing to Android, begin critically working on the OS and manufacturers such as HP and Asus start mass production of the systems, 2010 could be the year, I coin the term here, “The Ultimate Fight" begins between Open source and Microsoft.

Gigaom also predicted Android netbooks to be appearing in 2009.

Mainly the problem the year 2009 could be used to tackle, is on the development of  multitude of applications. Google already supports basic documents and spreadsheet services online and if the 3rd party community begins seriously focusing on the development of apps on the desktop, 2010 could no wonder be the year of success for the project.
