Welcome to Android 3.0!
Let me introduce the new successor of the Android world, the Android 3.0 - Honeycomb – the era is starting to emerge.
Android 3.0 features and specifications:
1. The Android 3.0 Honeycomb will be restricted to high-end handsets and tablets. The podcast explained that Android 3.0 phones will require at least a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 3.5-inch or larger displays.A Korean electronics firm is claiming that Android 3.0 will actually require a dual-core processor to run.
2. According to the Google Mobile Blog, Android 3.0 has had a huge amount of user interface refinement, and is designed specifically for large-screen devices (so, tablets). Widgets have been made more interactive, and the Home screen has received a snazzy 3D makeover.
3. The new Chrome browser in particular has received some major polish, with the addition of tabbed browsing, auto-fill, syncing with desktop versions of Chrome and private browsing all bringing it closer to the browsing features of a PC.
4. Android 3.0 is also set to offer music syncing.The 'sync music' option could enable Android 3.0 devices to sync local music with cloud-based services.
Android 3.0 PHONE:
1. One of the first Android 3.0 phones could be the Samsung Galaxy S2 if another rumour is to be believed. The leaked details of the Galaxy S I9200 claim a 4.3-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720.
2. Google is planning to release an Android 3.0 powered Nexus 2 also called the Nexus S.
3. It's also possible that the PSP Phone will be running Android 3.0.
However due to the requirements of high end h/w, it seems quite possible that Android 3.0 is a tablet-only OS and will never be coming to mobile phones.sorry guys.....
Android 3.0 TABLET:
1. Acer has announced 7- and 10-inch Android tablets which are running on Android 3.0.
2. Asus has announced a range of tablets, including the 7-inch Eee Pad MeMO, which comes with a capacitive stylus for use with a dedicated note-taking app.
3. Pansonic has announced the Viera Tablet for use with the company's connected TVs, though it's unclear whether it will use Android 3.0 or an earlier version.
4. The Motorola Android 3.0 prototype has surfaced as the Motorola Xoom, now confirmed to be sporting a dual-core processor 10.1-inch screen, front- and rear-facing cameras and HD video recording.
5. LG also got in on the Android 3.0 game, launching the T-Mobile G-Slate, and the LG Optimus Pad is on its way too.
