First Impressions of Android 3.0 Honeycomb
InformationWeek: With Honeycomb, Androids makes the leap from glorified smartphone platform to a true tablet OS.
"After using Android 2.2 Froyo on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the newest version of the operating system -- Android 3.0 Honeycomb -- on the Motorola Xoom is a bit of an eye opener."
"Honeycomb offers five customizable home screens that can be accessed by swiping to the left or right. Out of the box, a few of these home panels were littered with app shortcuts and widgets, but they can all be moved around or deleted. The design of these home pages is far more "tablet-like" than what was available on the Galaxy Tab. The larger display and extra real estate also help to legitimize the feel of Honeycomb as a separate OS from the smartphone version of Android."
