Tablet looks to be the future of modern computing; keeping these trends and contemporary demands in mind Google launched its new Android platform specially designed for Tablet PC. Google named the platform as Android 3.0 but for its lovers it is called as HONEYCOMB.

Launched in February 2011, Honeycomb is designed to be fully touch platform and it scores more on most counts. Google has specially designed the operating system for speed crazy audience (who is not). Most people have had many complaints against the previous Android versions about speed and crashing but this time Google has made enough amends to sort them out.

Honeycomb is perfectly fluent and consistent with finger swipes. Consistent performance and fluent user interface gives Honeycomb edge over other OS and it poses a serious challenge to iOS for ipads. Downloading Apps and widget in Android 3.0 enabled tablets are much easier and you have persistent reminder for the status of app downloading in the bottom right of the screen on the Tablet.

Honeycomb user interface is easily customizable but one drawback is you have to long press the empty space to incorporate the changes. Also, Google keeps on releasing newer wallpapers and different animations to provide its customers to customize their Tablets. You can add up to five different screens in Android 3.0.

The most commending features of Android 3.0 are its internet and Email messaging features. Being a product from its creator, Honeycomb comes embedded with the generic mail app. Messages comes to the screen in the formatted manner which takes it far from the league of other operating systems. Inbuilt flash application lends the users an all new experience altogether and makes browsing a fun activity.

Honeycomb supports various media and file formats both for audio and video. Android 3.0 makes it possible for Tablets to use their full screen space for example in smart phones the best view of mails is in the vertical alignment but you can have a refreshing experience in the Honeycomb enabled Tablet PC.

All in all, Honeycomb is the best Tablet OS in its league even giving ipad a run for its money. Though there are more features in the Android 3.0 but only a few features have been discussed above.

Android is built on the basis of developing applications that can make mobile phones act like a mini PC, when you use Android, you hardly need to switch on your PCs almost everything is given access through an Android phone .

Android also has a touch screen feature though it does not support multi touch. To activate an android phone one needs a data plan to be enabled on top of a voice plan. Android is somewhat a philosophical opposite of  iPhones. Where the iPhone tries to create the best user experience by restricting hardware and software standards, Android tries to insure it by opening up as much of the operating system as possible.

Many Cellular companies are signing deals for using Android OS in their cell phones . The open handset alliance which is a global alliance between technology and mobile industry leaders, is stepping towards developing a new breed of mobile devices allowing a far better user experience than current mobile platforms that provide a greater degree of openness and thereby enables developers to work and collaborate in ample of ways.

All in all android is an exciting platform for consumers and developers which probably will give a tough competition to the existing phones in the years to come and also giving user’s multiple options for selecting the phones suiting their styles.
