[JMcEntegart]

The folks over at Samsung are bound to be a little giddy today. After all, they just announced their Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab! What's not to be excited about? Unfortunately, it seems they've let a little secret slip amidst all their tablet talk.

I still won't buy the tablet in the first place if it's anywhere near the Galaxy s' price.

Personally, I'm more intrigued by the idea of the hardware that will utilize this unknown Android OS - the "next generation tablet," for which Honeycomb is "specifically optimized." Let more slip, Samsung reps.

 

[Confused Stu]

Couple of typos - Froyo is Android 2.2, not 2.1 as it's listed in the article; and Gingerbread's recommended specs are 512MB of RAM, not 512MB or RAM.

Thanks for the info about Honeycomb, sounds interesting. Keep the info coming guys!

Don't you mean Froyo (Android 2.2)?

Google is on the roll these days. Everyone like their Android OS.

Seriously these companies need to lower the price of these tablets. For the same price I can get a 13 inch laptop with a lot more connectivity and flexibility IMO.

I guess we'll find out sooner or later what Honycomb is. But in the meantime... would you like fries with those?

oh! the confusion!!! is it android 2.1 or 2.2?!?! its just a typo! jesus!

 

[Abrahm]

I believe I saw somewhere else that Honeycomb was the code name for the next iteration of Android after Gingerbread.

 

[getreal]

Half the phones out now don't support 2.2 "yet", 75% won't support "gingerbread" at all, and 100% won't support "honeycomb".

What a joke of a platform.

So, is Honeycomb big, yea yea yea?

 

[pangedit]

That picture made me drool.

 

[snotling]

512MB or RAM

Typos are the new grammae!

Thank GOD my Galaxy S specs match the the minimum requirement for Gingerbread !!

Samsung still didn't release Froyo for Galaxy S and now Gingerbread in coming in mid oct ?!

Come on Samsung hurry up !

 

[lonechicken]

It's not small. No, no, no!

Google really seems to be upping the ante, Gingerbread looks good (especially with there own Itunes), and there is very little information on Honeycomb... I wonder if Google will actually comment on this, or just play it cool like it came out on purpose.

It sounds like Honeycomb will become the more norm, and i don't know that everyone is going to want a 3.5+ inch screen cell phone (if it will be used as a smartphone OS). Years ago Motorola made flip phone that was "cool" and now, having a 4+ inch screen is "cool". I like a bigger screen, but i would like having a smaller screen with more battery, and still have a strong processor.
