Google seem to be rolling out new versions of Android quicker than anyone else can update their hardware. But this latest flavor, Honeycomb is said to “Entirely for Tablets” We had heard rumors up to now that it would only be for tablets and this is confirmed in the latest video released by Google.
I think it’s safe to say that this Tablet UI doesn’t look anything much like the current Android, and it’s pretty obvious that it wouldn’t work to well on smartphones.
It was debuted on the Motorola Xoom tablet today at CES which will be shipping with Android 3.0 along with a Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor that can kick out an impressive 2Ghz of power. It has two digital cameras on board: A front-facing 2.0-megapixel camera acts as a webcam for video chat, and a 5.0-megapixel camera on back is for photos and 720p high-definition video capture. It has a higher resolution than the iPad at 1280×800 compared to 1024×768 and user will be able to watch 1080P HD video as well as use the HDMI port.
Android 3.0 is a brand new, completely different user interface. It’s a truly virtual and holographic user interface” with “refined multitasking, elegant notifications,” and “home screen customization with a new 3D experience and redesigned widgets that are richer and more interactive.” It has a new browser, auto-fill, private browsing and integrated book mark syncing
