IDC also predicts that mobile phone-based Android operating system will occupy the two top positions in these years. Of the total 390 million units of mobile phones, android mobile phone shipments to reach approximately 68 million units.
However, the number of shipments will only occupy the second position in mobile phone operating system market. Android just lost to other OS also fought to occupy the top position, ie Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile, and Apple OS.

Meanwhile, the group of developers who call themselves Android-x86, develop Android on the x86 platform so that the OS (operating system) owned by Google that can be used to run a series netbook Asus Eee PC.
In its website, the community of Android-x86 mention, just a few months after creating a patch that lets Android running on x86 platforms, they are aware of the findings could be further developed. This group then decided to further develop the basic code that they find in order to support other x86 platforms and hosting on their servers.
"This project, first of all aims to provide a complete solution for Android on the Eee PC platform, and for the x86 platform," wrote the Android-x86 on their website, as quoted by TG Daily.
So far, the group of developers has been to test their findings in most series netbook Asus Eee PC. Among the series Eee PC 701 series, 701SD, 900, 900A, 901, 904HD, 1000, 1000HE, 1000HD, 1005HAG, S101, T91 (VESA mode) and Eee Top 1602C. These findings can also work on previous ThinkPad X61 Tablet Lenovo. All of the above devices are known to run native resolution (800x480 or 1024x600) via the i915 driver, which all run on Linux Kernel 2.6.29 with kernel mode-setting (KMS) enabled.
In addition to developing Android to use the PC even further, the developer is planning to develop an external monitor, support bluetooth support, better power management, support multi-touch touchpad, as well as 3G and GPS features
