Androïd on portable computers?

A new rumour suggests that Google and Intel would work to produce a hardware architecture able to function under Androïd and able to equip a netbook.
This rumour is relatively close to those which think that Apple could propose a sort of large iPod Touch which would act as Mac Tablet and that would also run under the Mac OS X of the iPhone.
One would thus see the emergence of a new segment that would result not from the miniaturization of the computers but of the enlargement of the mobile phones. If the difference could be subtle in term of format, it will be it much more on the level of the operating system that will really be optimized to draw the maximum from the hardware inevitably limited in power.
We will need to wait until 2010, the date estimated for this INTEL-Google product unless Apple gets there first.
