Two weeks ago I decided to replace Ubuntu with the release candidate of Android-x86. It works out of the box on most Asus netbooks.
The performance of my Xoom tablet feels slower than Android-x86 on the X101. Android-x86 is based on Android 4 and comes with most of the standard Android apps (mail, calendar, music player).
Some further apps are easy to install from GooglePlay (the former Google market):
- DropBox
- Radio.de
- IM+ (commercial instant messenger)
- Google Reader
- Google Maps
- Tagesschau
- Audible
- Kindle reader
The overall impression of Android-x86 is a very good option for netbooks in my opinion. I think it will bring Linux finally to the masses!
