The dual-booting Aspire One was the first Android netbook available. It hasn’t exactly sold like they had hoped, but Acer wants to be first again and see if lightning will strike with Google’s Chrome OS next year.

Acer has actually been developing a Chrome-based netbook since mid-2009, and Chairman, JT Wang tells DigiTimes that he wants it to be the first netbook out there when Chrome OS is released in the second half of 2010. We have a while to wait, but it’s nice to see Acer still not afraid to stray from Microsoft OS’.
