We’ve been hearing for a while about this and that company thinking about making an MID or netbook (or desktop) with Android as the OS. Well! Someone’s gone and done it! And they even shot video, the dears.

The guys at NetbookNews put it on an i-Buddie, and recorded it for posterity. Unfortunately, it’s extremely short, there’s not a lot done, and error messages pop up frequently. This looks more like a curious hacker trying something out than a serious attempt at implementing the mobile OS as a PC one.
