Sony Ericsson CEO Urges Caution With Android Netbook Combo

While many in the tech industry are giddy about the introduction of Android to the netbook OS pantheon, some of that enthusiasm is getting tempered by some good solid realism by Sony Ericsson CEO Hideki Komiyama.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt initially took a positive note, saying 2009 will be good to Android especially due to “significant” announcements in both the netbook and smartphone categories. However, Hideki’s words urge a bit of critical thinking:

“It does require a lot of evaluation, as well as a lot of testing, a lot of acceptance from a consumer viewpoint, and there is still some time to go.”

While Komiyama’s quote is a bit of a buzzkill, we’d rather Android be implemented well than soon. In his own words, Android is going to be “one of the important operating systems,” and if it means to compete with the likes of XP and Linux some work is going to need to be done first.
