Correction noted, and thank you.

But it doesn't change the point - ASUS already has a Linux solution they are familiar with. I don't see them suddenly shifting to Android, though I can see an incentive to do so: at this point Android has brand recognition, and the fact that a device uses it is a feature. ASUS wants to sell hardware, and might decide down the road that a device running Android would sell better because of that.
