Pictured above, this device is unique because it features the ability dual boot both Android and Windows XP. Add that to its 10.1-inch screen, Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB of harddrive space and a 6-cell battery.

Acer is finally ready to send the first Android netbook your way. The Aspire One D250 is available for Pre-order on Amazon and it will cost you $349 to get it. The netbook will offer you both Android and Windows XP under the hood so you’ll be able to choose which OS is better suited for your needs. Don’t hurry up to get it just yet as Acer is bound to unveil another version of the D250 capable of running Windows 7. The Windows 7 version will be announced at some point next week in Japan after Microsoft will finally launch its latest OS. It would be very interesting to see a netbook coming with both Windows 7 and Android on board but that might not happen anytime soon.

The Acer Aspire One 571 netbook advances the resolution of its 10.1-inch display to 1280 x 720, plus an optical disc drive. However, unlike the ASUS Eee PC 1004DN, this is no DVD burner but a Vmedia drive which uses 32mm Blu-ray discs, loaded inside small plastic cartridges, each with 1GB capacity.

Initially only ROM discs full of media content will be available, with 576p-quality video content, but the company anticipates recordable versions in the future. To handle that media, the Aspire One 571 couples its Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz processor with the Quartics Q1721 Multimedia Coprocessor. Look for Bluetooth and WiFi in there too. There’s no word on pricing or whether consumers will endorse Vmedia.

Acer has a 10-inch Aspire One netbook coming our way. The D150 will be available in three versions which will go on sale in February.

The other two models, the D150-1B and the D150-2BG are coming in March and they will bring you a better Atom processor and integrated mobile broadband. The D150-1B will come with a 6-cell battery and it will cost $450. The D150-2BG will use Intel Atom’s 1.66GHz N280 processor and it will come with 3G quadband UMTS/HSDPA mobile broadband.

The beginning of the new year finds us talking about new netbooks. One of them is the 10.1 inch version of the Aspire One netbook. Acer might launch it as soon as this February. Besides the bigger screen and keyboard we should expect a card reader to replace the storage expansion slot, a single memory slot capable of taking up to 2GB instead of the two 1GB slots, Bluetooth and 3G support. Will we see it at CES? How much will it cost?

Starting with December 14, this netbook will be on sale at Radioshack for a bargain price.

Peter Whitsett, RadioShack’s executive vice president said:

It appears that not only Asus has in mind a better battery for their Eee lines. MSI has launched a 6 cell battery for their Wind netbook and now it’s Acer’s turn to release their version of a 6 cell battery for the Aspire One.

The battery has been already spotted. Apparently it costs “just” $120 to get yourself a new battery. If you’re considering buying an Aspire One better wait it out. Hopefully future versions will come already bundled with the new battery for a cheaper price.
