Are Intel and Google Preparing 'Mass Roll-out' of Netbooks?

A “reliable source” told VentureBeat that Intel and Google are preparing to mass produce inexpensive Atom-powered netbooks running on Android software. 2009 is possible but they believe 2010 is more likely. Is this the rumored MID (mobile Internet device) that Intel’s been playing with? Speculate in our forums via the link below, won’t cha?

Regardless of the way you look at it, netbook sales are growing, and Intel is probably more than willing to attach itself to any area it sees with growth potential. And Android running on netbooks represents what could be a very viable alternative to those who don’t want netbooks that run an operating system like Windows Vista.
