MC2 Post 1002 Two Woops and One Hurray for Android Honeycomb

From:  http://www.linuxtoday.com





Google holds back Android Honeycomb; Asus releases the source code "Asus posted a link on the product page for its Eee Pad Transformer tablet that lets readers download a 97MB file with the source code for v8.2.2.6 of the Android kernel."

While developers have been waiting for Honeycomb, by the way, Intel has finished work on the low-power Oak Trail chips it designed for tablets as a direct competitor for chips from ARM, which owns most of the microprocessor market for tablets.

About 35 products are under development using Oak Trail and will ship at the manufacturer's discretion, Intel announced.

Given the sudden explosion in tablet sales and predictions from Gartner, among others, that tablets will sell more units than PCs this year and that Android will be a runner-up to iOS in a vastly larger tablet market by 2015, the pressure is obviously on both Google and the OEMs.
