Last month, Acer announced its dual OS booting netbook Aspire One D250 and now, it is officially available in India. New Acer Aspire One D250 boots in Android and Windows XP operating systems. Acer boasts of "instant on" Android boot and also switching between Windows XP and Android. The new Aspire D250 has been available at electronic retail outlets since start of this month and is priced at Rs. 18,599.

Acer AOD250 has special dual-boot feature that allows the netbook to boot in either Android or Windows XP. Acer boasts of the 18-second boot up and 3 second shut down. Apart from this instant on boot up, this netbook also features Acer-customized Firefox browser along with other pre-installed applications.

The innards feature 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor with 512KB L2 cache and 667FSB paired with Intel Mobile 9456SE chipset. With integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics, this netbook has 1GB DDR2 RAM and 160GB HDD for storage.

The under Rs. 20K price may attract Indian users but we know not how many average users would be ready to check out Android yet. Acer Aspire One D250 does have 10-inch netbooks as competition from HP, Dell, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and others.

product is not very pleasing.... acer should concentrate on providing notebooks with large memory and graphical features... acer provides quality products for reasonable price, but the Acer's Dual OS Aspire One D250 is not suitable for indian markets..

I have got one of the units for review and for the Android OS really cool for surfing and connectivity. But its better to use the XP for regular PC operations.
