The New Android 3.0–Just for Tablets (Video)

Google Android Platform has been in the news lately and while most companies are going for Android based Tablets, Google yet again delivers a build that entices the tablet market for just more than Windows.

CES was churning up news and product announcements on Wednesday, the Google Android team quietly posted a YouTube video previewing the Honeycomb software release.
The video opens with the message that it is “built entirely for tablet” and then shows a preview of screenshots and screencasts of what appears to be a 10-inch tablet running a version of Android with a dark blue theme consistent with the new color scheme that debuted in Android 2.3 (”Gingerbread”) in December.
The video shows:
  • The ability to open multiple smartphone-size apps at a time and stack them next to each other (something iPad doesn’t do)
  • A full-size horizontal keyboard similar to the iPad’s
  • A slick visualization of Google Books in action
  • A tablet-optimized email client similar to the Web version of Gmail for iPad
  • A cool new tablet UI for YouTube
  • A full screen video call using GoogleTalk
  • A tablet version of Google Maps with 3D modeling and StreetView

Enjoy the Video…
