According to a company statement, the outfit will release an Android version of the Aspire One in the third quarter of this year.
The beast will have the same Intel Atom microprocessor and it will sport a 10-inch screen.
The device could be the first Android netbook available worldwide if China's Guangzhou Skytone Transmission Technologies doesn't get one out first. Skytone has said its Android netbook is undergoing final testing, which could mean a launch date anytime between next week and 2010.
Jim Wong, president of Acer's global product operations, said that the company decided to move quickly to work with Android because there is a strong development momentum behind the software.
