Android 3.0 Honeycomb is Google's big mobile play

Will have to restrain myself from not importing the first Honeycomb tablet that becomes available ... there are so many cool ones to be released this year. (Wonder what HTC's slant will be on Honeycomb)

Its gui is designed with pads in mind so it would suck on phones.

Can't wait till darky goes gingerbread and I get me a honeycomb pad.

Now I just need a netbook running black coffee or muesli and I am sorted.

A 52min video of the google/honeycomb event that happened yesterday. Awesome in depth demo and information of honeycomb on the Motorola Xoom.

After watching it and seeing how far the rabbit hole goes, I can only wonder at what the ipad2 devs are thinking. Probably various iterations of... "uh, how the hell are we going to do that?"

:p

more like "ipad2 - now with a front facing camera and usb port". zomg wow.
anyways, honeycomb is looking hot, i won't lie.
now, about those apps...
 
The Asus EE Pad, the Motorola Xoom, LG optimus pad and the HTC scribe.

radical choices, man.
 
This actually might make me get a tablet. These things are especially great for people like my parents where this can pretty much replace a PC or laptop.

Honeycomb looks awesome, but one thing that bothers me is that bar at the bottom that is always there. It's a waste of screen space, they could at least make it smaller.

Android turned the mobile industry upside down & I think the tablet market is also waiting for a big wave in Android 3.0.

I doubt they are worried. Why would they be?

Counting devices counts for little.
Its revenue and more importantly profit that counts.
Apple are doing pretty well there.

We need competition. Its good. It makes iOS, Android, BB and Windows all better.

What I cannot figure out in the Android club is why a liking for Android has to also equal an Apple hate.
I use an iPad and an iPhone.
I recognise that Android is damn good but so is iOS.
The things that the Apple haters rant about are not important to me. A closed eco system has advantages. On the other hand I recognise that some techs want to mess with it and therefore they should buy Android.
It does not make iOS bad. It makes it unsuitable for *their* needs.
 
Get a few paparazzi shots with Ms Hilton, Ms Kardashian, Ms Lohan... out on the scene with a Honeycomb power device then maybe Google has a chance to take on Apple...
