We waited for Android to come to Netbooks and Laptops, and then Google said, wait it’s Chrome OS Tips, and we got confused, now, allow me to confuse you more, with Live Android, a project hosted on Google Code website, providing you live iso file for android.

Home Download Wiki Issues

You can download a normal live iso image file for android to use on your laptop or netbook. Burn it on a cd, ( DvD won’t  work ), insert cd to the cd drive, and reboot the computer/laptop, and you will have it ready to test, without making any change to your system.

Creating a Live USB for Live Android

You can contact them on twitter, if you need help. I did get help through twitter, really fast. I was trying to create a Live USB using the iso file, but they said, its not ready for using on USB drives.

So, netbook users ( most of those netbooks come without a cd drive ) you may need to wait until version 3.0. The current version has some problem with usb file creator. When it’s ready, you can use this program to create a Live USB.

Me ?

I have downloaded the file, but I couldn’t burn the cd correctly, so, I need some more time to test this. Will update you all once I get this to work on my laptop … stay tuned .. you know what is RSS feed right ?

Now, Have some fun, watch the video?

I’d like to try a version that runs under XP looking like an app… i.e. like a vmware image running alongside my normal desktop but perhaps on a 2nd monitor.

Anyone want to write up a how-to and make a vmware image? Sure you’d get lots of site visitors wanting to try it!

wow…this is so cool…totally facinating
Though I’m not a very tech-savvy …or rather say tech-friendly … so I also find it bit complicated. But i think it’s just about getting used to it.
