Looks like I know what I'll be getting for Christmas!
To be honest I never liked Motorola design, they always seems not right. I think "awkward" is the word that describes their design
Not to start a flame war here, but what this post go to do in "Android Development and Hacking -> Android Software and Hacking General" ???
I will never forgive Motorola for the Cliq. They have already gotten enough money from me.
<ghasp> Oh Snap i wish it was a HTC though. They're less awkward
2ghz... in a smart phone?? How much is this gonna cost?!
2ghz in a phone & when you start to use it , the device goes down in 4 hrs
Yes i think processors are good enough for now They should work on battery life! my Desire is fast enough =)
See my sig...
Actually, I'm interested to see if these new phones are released in Google Experience vs. Motorola maintained version, vis Droid vs. Milestone again. I saw some images of the 'Droid X' today that had the Google Experience logo so looks like the lucky yanks will get the unlocked versions again, unlike the rest of us.
I dont get why people dont like motorolla? my brother has a droid and it's freakin sweet to me. Im still rollin with a G1.
Im excited for the 2ghz processor + froyo. thats ultimate speed and power! that thing can redirect a remote missile in real time! (joking ofcourse) BUT what if someone could create an app that will run PC or OSX programs through android for you! like the way wine bottle is for pc programs to mac. I mean the processor is right! 4.3 inch touch screen with qwerty keyboard is plenty comfort space for me to work with programs.
Nerdgasm!

I have the Milestone and have to say that I am pretty happy. I remember my old MPx200 and it was nice too, that was the last time I had a Moto. Build quality is perfect for me. At least no cheap-chinese plastic like in HTC's Desire et.al.
Thats right Folks! Honeycomb 3.0 (yup its 3.0!) Has been revealed! It was revealed a few minuets ago by Google themselves and well, it looks awesome! Its got a whole new look, just a promised.
It looks super fast and its definitely a step in the right direction.
The bad news? Its tablet only. So yeah, that sucks. I also am guess it will only work on Tegra 2 only tablets officially, but nothings stopping you guys from changing that! If its possible anyways...
A video is available at engadget and gizmodo.
Britoso has posted a link to the video, thanks
So what do you think?

I'm confused why Google is still pursuing ChromeOS when Android is so successful and includes Chrome (GoogleTV, Honeycomb).
Yeah BGR just posted a youtube video of this but it was almost immediately set to a private video.
Anyone know a public link?

Thank you. I just saw that. Looks good. Now let's see the awesome hardware I will buy later this year.
looks sweet. Hopefully it will be ported to my iPad eventually (2.2 is being ported right now)
It looks fantastic. Futuristic, legitimately cool, and smooth. Looks nothing like android currently does. Its gonna be fun watching the two forks of android develop (phone/tablet).
Cant wait to see what the next phone iteration has in store, cause this looks like it would have absolutely no place on smaller screen devices (phones).
If 3.0 Honeycomb is for tablets then what would 3.0 for smartphones be called? Hotcakes?

It never says Honeycomb is *only* for tablets. Honeycomb will probably have a really good scaler, as the new gmail app was demoed to have previously, so it will work on any dual core device.
I am betting that when all the dual core phones launch later this year they will get 3.0 as it is modified better for these devices. Just tablets first.
I want some one to port or grab that google talk app.... I want video chat in google talk!!!!

As it looks, Honeycomb (aka Android 3.0) won't be just for tablets - its also coming to our phones at some point. For all the details head over to engadget for an interview with Matias Duarte: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/07/exclusive-interview-googles-matias-duarte-talks-honeycomb-tab/

Yup, I think this will scale quite well with Mobile, and yes I am really excited by this. Looks super cool
And regarding britoso comment on what is the point of ChromeOS. I just can't see ChromeOS by itself as it is designed for cloud computing and mobile computer I just can't see it working as you need to be always connected and the offline mode is a bit limited.
What I love in the new honeycomb is the Chrome Browser, so I think you can fit ChromeOS onto Android and you run it within Android to get the benefits of Cloud computing, when needs be.
Quite exciting times for android, I can see 3.1 or 3.2 which will probably classed as honeycomb coming to Android Phones
DJ_Steve is the man! Got that Honeycomb 3.1 running on my streak thanks to him and Hellzya! This really makes the device much sexier. The density issue is small for me since I don't have a problem reading small print, but it doesn't work for my dad at all.. luckily most web browsers support a zoom feature as that is the primary reason we have the tab. I have no questions... I'm a noob yes... but only to these boards. Not to rooting or anything like that. I love android... hell even jailbroke a few ipods. I'm just not a programmer or anything like that. If I were I wouldn't hesitate to offer help for all this beautiful android hacking.

I have CM7 on my Optimus v. I LOVE THIS THING. It's made everything about this phone, especially the battery life, better. Rooting is fun. lol. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!
HoneyComb is awesome!!!!
Yeah,honeycomb is awesome.Only problem is that Google decided to become [email protected]*ckers on the matter and don't release the damn source code so that it could be ported to phones.Yes,Ice Cream Sandwich will have Honeycomb's features and is near to be released,but is it the spirit of XDA to wait for official stuff?Nah,I don't think so.
Come on Google,Android is supposed to be open.I don't want to buy a tablet.Not yet at least,I don't like the Tegra 2(The Exynos on my Galaxy S II makes Tegra 2 devices look like cheap toys,that's why ).And when the Tegra 3 will be out,Ice Cream Sandwich will be out too.

Why wait? Have some HC goodness with a GB-CM7 HC themed ROM.
I love the way youtube looks on HC. I just wish more apps worked on it. I many of my favorite apps crash on me in HC, but they aren't things I can't live without. Besides, whatever doesn't run there typically does on the phone so I still get my apps one way or another. One day we will have android installed in our brains and I will have to root myself.
Does anyone else out there think ICS looks like complete ****? I watched the leaked nexus video on YouTube that was released a few days ago and the first thing that came to mind was omfg look how ****ty that looks. I know I know *puts on flame suit* . I just can't get over the fact that ICS is the best thing that they could come up with I mean we are talking about Google here, were some of the brightest minds in America go to work. I just don't know, what are your guys thoughts? I feel they could create something a little bit more appealing with better Widgets idk let me know what you guys think...

I think it's beautiful.
Today's Live Wallpaper sucked dicks though.
The only thing I disliked were the on-screen buttons, but today's presentation made me feel less icky about it.
I love the look of ICS
I think its awesome and I like the new font theyve created as well
looks much better than all the earlier versions of android
It looks nice but not quite what I was hoping for.
They killed the menu button and use the wp7 like … icon. Wonder how the interface will be unit galaxy nexus runs gingerbread apps.

Like on Honeycomb tablets I think a button will appear along the 3 existing ones.
I also was expecting more. I'm a bit dissapointed
.
By the way, shouldn't be this topic on Android general forum?
I absolutely love how ICS looks. I adore the understated look and smooth transitions. The sold solid colors and Metro inspired design-language looks just fine to me. It is disappointing that the design of Ice Cream Sandwich is receiving so much negativity.
At least Gizmodo agrees that is is beautiful, and maybe that will help calm others a bit.
I think I kind of see a bit of disappoint. I think there was a bit too much speculation over it. There's always CyanogenMod

MY FAULT I POSTED THE WRONG VIDEO! I mean, seriously? Is there any need at this point in time? Will there be any hardware that can even run it by this fall or summer aside from maaaaaybe the Galaxy S 3? I dont understand it. Sometimes I feel like google should just keep all their OS development in the closet for at least 1.5-2 years at a time. 1 year minimum. Then do a controlled release with a absolutely bug-free platform. Im already seeing and feeling the gadget fatigue setting in. For christs sake a friend of mine just picked up a set of iPhone 3g's for free for his whole family like a year ago! And they are still liking them! I just dont think it makes sense to keep flooding the market so hard with devices and devices. But then again, that seems to be the correct formula for going up against the all-mighty fruit company. idk. This is great for developers, bad for consumers i guess. But im sure you all know that. Im just ranting.

Many of us still are using gingerbread in our devices and even some of them are shipped with froyo on it!
Meanwhile ICS isn't even finished perfectly yet so I don't understand why they shouldn't continue developing ICS before even starting Jelly bean...
I say go.
I think its a great idea. I not going to complain about more and new features. I also LOVE the feeling on an major android upgrade. And as for flooding the market with phones, Its fantastic because it makes companies compete to give you the best product. In the end we WIN!!!!!!!!!!.
This is absolutely awesome.
jelly bean is going to kill IOS !
I don't like google releasing a new version of O/S with less than one year gap. It's just my opinion though.

This statement makes no sense whatsoever. Continue developing ICS before starting jellybean? Do you even understand what a software version is? ICS is Android. Jellybean will still be android. As Android gets updated, and enough changes get made to the software, that is when they decide to change a name. So in all actuality, jellybean is ICS that has been developed further.......
Umm.. Haven't even got ICS yet and rumors about 5.0 ? Duh! this makes me jealous and frustrate!
Google seems to be restless. Remember when Honeycomb was released, they announced ICS at the same time! We are developing with 3.1 in mind and can't even think of exclusively using newer features to Android 4.x because of the major lag in new devices.
This isn't good for developers, it just gives us more headaches to control the fragments.

Thread moved to proper section
This makes absolutely zero sense for them to do this.

I agree that it would be too soon to relewse a new is just recently after ice came out and with only 1% of phones using ice right now. They should prioritize updating tlthe rest of the phones to ice and ironing out and building that os to recognition instead of rolling out something new. It would totally make ice purposeless in my eyes and a waste. I know technology is ever expanding but seems its expanding too quick to anyone to enjoy it long enough to stick to one thing.
From what I heard its for tablets right ? So basically this is like honeycomb something meant for the tablet community . If its for mobiles then this is a very bad thing ,I mean seriously how many devices come with ICS now ? 5 ?

Its going to be for phones and tabs its going to be an overlay capable device for PC s which in my opinion pretty cool. Especially if u like Linux already. And were r not talking about a release for at least 6 months. Everything is just hear say for now

If 5.0 comes out before 2013, Google is stupider than I thought.

My whole thing about it is this, how do you explain to people who are still on Froyo, this is something new and great and you should use it! Their devices are supported by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer (like 3 main ones) dont keep up with the upgrade schedule with all their onslaught of devices, then whats the point?
I feel as though Android is being developed so rapidly that it seems as though they dont even care about what devices are out, or which ones "matter" to the market more. Its all about development for them. (which isnt necessarily bad) And for manufacturers, its all about flood flood flood the market with every new spec technology they can in order to not accidentally fall behind Apple. This is the honest to goodness truth i fear!!
Companies are trying their absolute best to make certain that they dont get caught by surprise with some Apple super device---so they keep putting out a new device the instant they make a little headway in specs. They are too afraid of letting the market settle for longer than 3 months!! For fear that Apple will announce a launch all of the sudden and bring out a 1080p hex core smartphone with 20 gb of ram and 128 gb of hard disk. lol! Its really starting to piss me off. Its starting to become a childish game of "oh we did/have that already, its not new."
These companies really have to let the market catch its breath. I mean here in the U.S. people are still trying to fight their way out of this recession, and yet Samsung and Android expect me to buy a Galaxy Nexus since its the ONLY device with ICS! Indirectly though it may be, its still frusterating as hell. I say 1 year, minimum. Dont tell people about it in the news, dont leak anything, and dont throw it on devices unless it really makes a big difference-or after one year! I mean, google will always have their ad revenue to sit on. So I really dont understand the rush to release. ---rant complete---
