The Acer Aspire One D250 takes a standard netbook spec machine and adds the Android operating system into the mix.?You get an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive, and Android deployed in the same way that Asus and Sony (to name two) have used Linux kernels in the past.
Connectivity comes in the form of an Ethernet socket and Wi-Fi b/g, with 3x USB 2.0 connections, VGA, headphone and mic sockets. A card reader sits in the edge so you can slot in an SD card, which will sit flush with the edge so you can leave it in all the time if that’s what you want to do.
The D250 itself measures 257 x 185 x 24mm and is lightweight at just over 1kg including the battery. The construction is predominantly plastic and whilst the base of the D250 feels solid enough, the screen feels decidedly flimsy, not helped by the elevated hinges.
The internal finish is reasonable enough when you lift the lid, with a brushed effect around the keyboard and trackpad that keeps things relatively clear of fingerprints. The glossy plastic bezel surrounding the 10.1-inch LED backlit display and housing the webcam unfortunately doesn’t get the same treatment.

Last month, Acer announced its dual OS booting netbook Aspire One D250 and now, it is officially available in India. New Acer Aspire One D250 boots in Android and Windows XP operating systems. Acer boasts of “instant on” Android boot and also switching between Windows XP and Android.
The new Aspire D250 has been available at electronic retail outlets since start of this month and is priced at Rs. 18,599.Acer AOD250 has special dual-boot feature that allows the netbook to boot in either Android or Windows XP. Acer boasts of the 18-second boot up and 3 second shut down. Apart from this instant on boot up, this netbook also features Acer-customized Firefox browser along with other pre-installed applications.
The innards feature 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor with 512KB L2 cache and 667FSB paired with Intel Mobile 9456SE chipset. With integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics, this netbook has 1GB DDR2 RAM and 160GB HDD for storage.
The under Rs. 20K price may attract Indian users but we know not how many average users would be ready to check out Android yet. Acer Aspire One D250 does have 10-inch netbooks as competition from HP, Dell, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and others.

Acer is apparently keeping the current model name of the currently Windows XP netbooks the same when they move to Windows 7. PCWorld reports that Acer will launch the Acer Aspire One D250 with Windows 7 next week. The Aspire One D250 Windows 7 netbook has a 10.1-inch screen with 1,280 pixels by 720px resolution, 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU and a 160GB HDD. The battery life is only 3.5 hours, but there is supposed a better battery available as accessory. Looking at the Acer D250 netbooks offered on Amazon you find the new Acer AOD250-1613 netbook on pre-order that offers to either boot Android or Windows XP Home. I’d rather wait for the Windows 7 version.

Acer’s Android netbook has been regular grist for the rumor-mill, with delays tipped, buyer apathy prediced, along with vehement denials from the company themselves. So it’s with no small amount of interest that we read one of the first reviews of the Acer Aspire One D250 Android – as the netbook appears to have been labelled – courtesy of ePrice. They found the AOD250 to be “semi-finished”, with Android perhaps unsurprisingly causing many of the issues.
The AOD250 dual-boots between Windows XP and Android, and at least that process is relatively straightforward. Twin power buttons might have been neat, but in fact you get a reboot dialog – which you can see in the gallery below – offering a choice of Microsoft’s or the open-source OS. Booting into Android took a mere 20 seconds, while shut-downs were almost instantaneous; however it seems that Acer have done little to rework Android to the larger netbook display.
More worrying, they’ve also removed the Android Market from the netbook, together with seemingly blocking the ability to sideload software; in effect, turning Android into a closed OS. That could be a byproduct of using Android OS 1.0 in this pre-production model, so we’re hoping for more flexibility in whatever ships. In the end, the Windows side (and the hardware) is just as you’d expect from a 10-inch Acer Aspire One netbook, but while the Android side shows promise, it’s nowhere near mainstream level yet.

Review Acer made a significant impact on the netbook market last year with its hugely popular Aspire One A110. It recently released a selection of new netbooks in its Aspire One range, and the D250 we have here is bizarrely similar to the D150, which was only launched a couple of months ago
The D250 we reviewed makes use of Intel’s 1.66GHz Atom N280 and Acer supplies it with 1GB of DDR 2 memory. Watch out, though: it’s also available with the 1.6GHz N270, and in fact almost all supplier in the UK are selling the latter.
Two USB ports and a multi-format card reader are found on the right, along with the power socket. On the left sit Ethernet, VGA, audio in/out and a third USB port. The vent is also on the left, and although the D250’s fan fired up a fair amount during testing – even when doing little more than browsing the web – it’s not loud enough to irritate.
The rear is home to naught but the three-cell 2200mAh battery. A six-cell version is also available, though the battery’s a bulky affair that angles down from the notebook to lift the back of the machine up off the deck. It makes the machine less comfortable to carry – stick it in a bag and you won’t care – but you may find it angles the keyboard better.

There were rumors going around not long ago about more subsidized netbooks making their way over to AT&T. Well, it looks like AT&T is about to start offering the Acer Aspire One 10.1? netbook complete with integrated AT&T 3G access via a partnership with Costco. Costco employees are currently being trained for the launch and according to the info we received, the preparation comes to a head on May 8th. As for the netbook itself, it will become availble beginning May 11th. We’re pretty sure the Acers will be available from both AT&T retail stores and Costco electronics kiosks, just like Radio Shack’s current AT&T netbook. No word yet on pricing but look for it to line up just above the 8.9? model currently available from Radio Shack.

The Aspire One D250 measure 10.2? x 7.2? x 1 inches. The notebook supports up to 2GB of RAM, and comes comes with a 3 or 6 cell battery.

The Acer Aspire One D150 is a 10in netbook with an upgraded intel Atom chip.
When Acer created the original Acer Aspire One, it came up with a bestseller that was helped along by the fashionable styling, attractive low price and good overall build and performance.
It has now stretched the original screen by an inch, bringing the new Acer Aspire One D150 model in line with the rest of the 10in pack
