Posted by Sharon Chan
- Computerworld has some early info on Google's Android software for netbooks, which would compete with Microsoft's Windows software for the low-cost laptops built for basic computing like e-mailing and surfing the Web. Built by SkyTone in China, CW says, the new device undercuts most netbooks out there on cost, and should end up costing $100 to $200.

, but no Twitter. Update 10:37a: Twitter feeds are already available on Windows Live.
