GM recently announced a new partnership with Segway under which they built a new concept people mover the “PUMA”.  With any luck it will hopefully never see production.  One look at this bizarre vehicle will have you wondering what they are thinking.  An informal survey on CNN.com showed that over 70% of the people polled said they wouldn’t be caught dead driving around in it.  The PUMA is designed to be piloted around cities and is not intended for highway use.  Although it is capable of traveling 35mph.

However, with the advent of the netbook (small ultra portable laptop like devices) there has been interest in porting Android onto these machines. Why would someone want to run cell phone software on a computer? For starters the software runs very well without much hardware horsepower. Secondly, Android brings with it the well established Google name. Whereas before consumers selected from Microsoft XP or Ubuntu they could very soon be given the choice of choosing between Windows 7 and Google Android.
