The Android has a new OS called Honeycomb that is apparently looking quite amazing. Google's vice president of engineering in charge of Android had this to say in a recent blog post:
Honeycomb is the next version of the Android platform, designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. We've spent a lot of time refining the user experience in Honeycomb, and we've developed a brand-new, truly virtual and holographic user interface. Many of Android's existing features will really shine on Honeycomb: refined multitasking, elegant notifications, access to over 100,000 apps on Android Market, home screen customization with a new 3D experience, and redesigned widgets that are richer and more interactive. We've also made some powerful upgrades to the Web browser, including tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, syncing with your Google Chrome bookmarks, and incognito mode for private browsing.
CNET did a really good overview of Honeycomb that's definitely worth the read. Check it out here. This new Android OS, and whatever tablet runs it, may wind up giving the iPad a run for it's money.
