Rumor has it that Android 3.1, the new version of “Honeycomb”, is going to be delayed until August on several tablets, including the eagerly awaited Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The release dates for these devices will naturally be pushed to August too, if these rumors turn out to be true.
So, what’s so special about the latest iteration of Honeycomb? Here’s a quick rundown:
- Support for additional input devices, such as keyboards, game controllers, mice and trackpads.
- More customization options: e.g. widgets can be resized to your own preferences instead of just having to choose between “small” or “large” as before.
- More stable: many bugs that would cause crashes on 3.0 have been taken care of.
- Support for the beta version of Google’s music service in the cloud, which will allow users to begin storing their music in the cloud using the standard Android music player. Personally, I expect that this will be limited to certain countries at first, then later opened up for more countries as the beta progresses in typical Google fashion.
