Venture Beat freelance writer Daniel Hartmann took four hours of work to port Google's Android operating system to the Asus Eee PC 1000H as shown above. He managed to get nearly all the hardware (including graphics, sound and WiFi) running.

Android may yet succeed where Linux failed in making an impact in the market, especially in the netbook segment.
