Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)

Liking what i see so far.

Not to sound like MeeGo hater, but 3.0 actually seems to be really offering the kind of UI that i was hoping from MeeGo side on tablets and the huge user base is already there.
Though it's still early days and that video did not show more than general feel of the UI.
Only thing that i can say straight away that i'm not huge fan of that bottom bar that looks kind of cheap compared to rest of the UI.

I have the impression that some part of the Android screen in the video still have that subtle "lag" that Android has compared to other HW-accelerated UI's.

Aside that minor detail, Android 3.0 running on the Asus Slider would make a buyer.

Finally... a tablet OS that doesn't just look like a giant phone

Re: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
 

Exactly.
Very happy that Google/Android went for this route.
Sick of the "first gen" tablets with mobile phone hw and UI.

Hopefully the general public thinks the same too so we see much more of Android 3.0 and MeeGo tablet UX devices with great hw.

i think this is awesome!!

Re: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
 

Agree.

Looks promising and unlike a phone which should help separate tablets and smartphones in consumers eyes.

Yup... but I don't want to "Experience the whole internet" on a tablet.

For me the beauty of a mobile browser has been the lack of ads, frames, pop-ups, and any other manner of annoyance that distracts from the information that is requested.

Now that we have the bandwidth and CPU/GPU horsepower in mobile devices I had been hoping to be seduced by a "new" tablets larger screen and more fluid touch interface.

Being able to move information retrieval from the desktop to the couch was one thing the "old" 770/N800/810 tablets allowed us to do. The clunky interface, still developing browser, and smaller screen were the trade offs.

If the trade off for a "new" tablet is that along with the information I request, the "whole internet" with all the crap it now dispenses is dragged off the desktop and on to my couch... I think I'll pass.

Is it me or does it look kind of similar to some of the MeeGo demo videos??? O.o

Re: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
 

Can't help but be impressed. Seems polished, well thought out... and nicely done.

Progress indeed.

Wait... the N810 did offer the entire internet. Just that you could install methods to block ads, like Privoxy.
