Honeycomb for Tablets


Google’s announcement about the availability of the full software development kit for Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) was met with great excitement at Mobile World Congress.

 The developers as well as users are excited as Android 3.0 will enable the creation and publishing of Android apps targeting the tablet-oriented Android variant. Additionally, Android 3.0 platform introduces many new and exciting features for users and developers. As per Google, “Android 3.0 is a new version of the Android platform that is specifically optimized for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. It introduces a brand new, truly virtual and “holographic” UI design, as well as an elegant, content-focused interaction model.”

Google further added, “Android 3.0 builds on the things people love most about Android — refined multitasking, rich notifications, Home screen customization, widgets, and more — and transforms them with a vibrant, 3D experience and deeper interactivity, making them familiar but even better than before”.

Looking at way Android is doing wonders for the Smartphones, can we assume it will be great for the Tablets too? Though I am optimistic about it, but still lets wait and see.
