Notion Ink Honeycomb Delay Explained Along Android 18 Month Lines

By Chris Burns
on 11 Jan, 2011

Although it seems frightening, in the newest update from none other than Rohan Shravan, for which the insides of the Adam were designed, Shravan notes that Honeycomb is a work in progress, and might take a bit longer than they think to make it publicly available. He notes that "for an instance, Android took almost 18 months to become stable on various Tablet platforms." Hard and rough! He also notes that for Motorola to have access to Honeycomb (hi XOOM,) NVidia must first have access to make it stable on Tegra and remove all issues. Like we didn't already knooow that.

How would you like to take a peek at one gigantically long tablet with Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 on it? Here's one right here, one we just got our hands on not a few moments ago at CES 2011 - a Hanvon HPad A116. This sassy slate has a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a resolution of 1024 x 600, and a 512M mDDR, with 2GB of internal memory. Inside you'll find your choice of Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 (though I'm not quite sure why you'd opt for something older), and the entire system will be HEAVILY customized by Hanvon.

LG plans on unleashing a tablet computer running Android 3.0 Honeycomb during CES 2011. An Android tablet was already promised from LG to be released by the winter holidays, but they may just have been waiting to officially release it with Honeycomb instead of the former Froyo.

Android Tablet with Phone Function by ViewSonic to be Showed Off at CES

By Chris Burns

ViewSonic is expected to bring forth a phone-tablet hybrid sort of device that might very well support 4G at CES next week. It could very will be a doozie. The device will have a four-inch screen, capable of making telephone calls, and will be running some version of Android (seems kind of like everything else so far, right?) Sources speaking with Ian Sherr of Down Jones Newswires said they'd rather not be named since the company is not yet sharing details with the public, but they did let loose that ViewSonic would also be releasing an additional two MORE tablets at CES as well. Tablet rain!

Back in November, we caught word that the Sharp Galapagos Android tablets would be hitting Japan in 2010. If you are in the US and want one of the Sharp tablets, you were probably hoping that Sharp would announce the tablets for American in time for the holiday season this year. That didn’t happen, but the good news is that you won't need to wait long to get the Galapagos tablets if Santa didn’t get you an Android device.
