We have been hearing rumors about a ASUS Netbook running android for months, but now it seems ASUS has confirmed their Android Netbook intentions.

Samson Hu, Manager of ASUS EEE PC Business has confirmed that they have engineers working on a Android based portable device which has a good chance of hitting store shelves by the end of the year. This isn't surprising, seeing as Android has been proven to have the capabilities of running on a bigger screen device without much fuss, it is really exciting to find out what such a device will look like, sure it may look like a regular Netbook, but will it have a touchscreen is the big question.

Android based Netbook is not the only thing being planned in the ASUS labs, an Android based mobile phone is also in the works, sadly, MWC 2009 was a big disappointment for Android, only one working handset was shown off.<.p>
