Google Reveals Facts about Android 3.0 Honeycomb
The latest Android version from Google, the 3.0 Honeycomb, has finally hit the markets. What most of us always thought was that the Honeycomb would specifically be for tablets and have just a few upgrades for SmartPhones. What we really didn’t was just how refined and jammed with features it would be!

The Android 3.0 Honeycomb consists of a completely new email client that serves messages in landscape mode and brings many competitive messaging features to the Android tabs. Also, Google has added new tools to the Android browser and has packed it with many minimalist controls to make the most of the big screens found on the Honeycomb tablets.

What’s more, the Honeycomb also comes replete with full 3D mapping for Google maps. This way, you’ll be able to vie beautiful satellite imagery that shows 3D rendered buildings as well. However, Google didn’t just stop here. YouTube also received a major makeover. The new interface shows video results as a grid along with neat 3D effects. So, now you can expect bigger yet easier-to-use controls as well.

But the best feature in the 3.0 Honeycomb is Google’s response to FaceTime and Skype. It comes with video chat features using Gtalk. So FaceTime and Skype now have a very powerful competitor, and 2011 looks like it is all set to have a great number of video conferencing showdowns!
