Is there a way to add google android or chrome OS?

[ho0lee0h]

I have the D250-1165 and I was wondering if there was a way to add the dual-boot google android or Chrome OS?

What you could try is to boot into Chrome OS from USB stick.

Does it really have to be an USB stick, or an SD card would be suitable too?
I mean using a storage expansion slot for HCSD cards available in AAO 110, for example.

I don't think it really matters is it an USB stick or a SD card, as long as you can choose to boot from this device (Use F2 and then F12 during boot-up.)
Chrome OS worked fine om my Acer One netbook (one with WinXP/Android dual boot). Even Google Wave worked fast, faster than on my home quad-core PC.
A Chrome OS build which I used (now there is more recent build there) required to be connected through LAN to log into Chrome OS at first. Then I used a small icon on a top right corner to configure WiFi (set a proper WEP key) and LAN connection was not necessary any more.
I also tried USB tethering from my Android Dev Phone 1 + CyanogenMOD. It worked fine, from the ChromeOS on netbook view, it appeared as a regular LAN connection.

if there is an official Android build for Acer Aspire One AOD250 with dual-boot, so i guess there should be also an official image provided by acer for restoring it in case of corruption, shouldn't it?

i would like to try to restore this image on my AAO

is anyone aware of it?
