Re: [android-developers] Re: Android 2.3 Vs 3.0

Apple's iPad was really just to support bigger screens, but had less functionality than the iPhone os. The opposite is happening here.. Android 3.0 is a much better UI and more features. That to me is one of the biggest reasons Android tablets are going to beat iPads... not only is the UI more tailored towards tablets and information at our fingertips, it's not quite identical to small screen phone devices. We truly get a more tablet oriented OS while still maintaining the ability to write code for both with.. as far as I can figure out, no changes other than for screen resolution.

The phone and tablet source trees have diverged temporarily but it's
expected that the "I" version of Android will bring them back
together. The version number hasn't been decided - it might become 3.1
or 3.5 or something else - just not 3.0.

So when somebody says "Honeycomb is just for tablets and won't run on
phones" they're just saying that a particular version of Android is
just for tablets. There will be lots of versions after Honeycomb.
Apple did something similar with iOS - they had an iPad only release
and then a few months later came back with a phone-only release and
finally they had a converged release.
