Android Tablet Reviews: Honeycomb OS

Android Honeycomb is the existing Google Android OS. It is created only for tablets and is as a result optimized with even even more capabilities and rewards than you would generally come across on a typical smartphone operating on Froyo or Gingerbread.

The Honeycomb has received a dramatic improvement compared to Gingerbread in a few aspects. One particular of the most obvious examples is enhanced applications in Honeycomb. A large number of of the native apps on Android have been fully rethought and enhanced, such as the email, browser, android market, Google Talk, and YouTube.

• Email. The e mail apps (both Gmail and almost everything else) use a two-pane system. So it tends to make perusing your inbox and many folders substantially easier. Moreover these apps use a new API open to all devs referred to as "fragments" which permit for sliding panes. This indicates the left pane begins out listing all available folders for that e-mail account, but when you decide on something from the panel on the ideal side, that then slides more than to the left and replaces the folder list. Consequently on the appropriate side, now I can see the complete email thread or full chat that I requested pull up, and I can see the whole conversation.
  
  
• Browser. The greatest enhancement is tabbed browsing. You don't want to press a menu button inside the browser to see all of the open windows. They are just presented like the Chrome browser on your computer, with the Action Bar showing off many tabs that you can switch to rather easily.
  
  
• Android Marketplace. "My apps" section shows a listing of all apps you have downloaded, updated and/or installed. You can dictate irrespective of whether the apps will have updates automatically installed, and you can open every individual app straight from this section. This listing of My Apps also notices if any updates are accessible, keeps me apprised of download/install progress, and is hassle-free to scroll by way of.
  
  
• Google Speak. The integration of native video chat and Google Talk app makes it extra convenient and accessible for any person to use it. Even if you have a tablet and your enterprise partner does not, just have them sign on to Google Talk on their personal computer and you are all set for a very good video chat.
  
  
• YouTube. The YouTube app was built with Renderscript, and it really is simple to tell given that of the extra 3D renderings completed up right here. The app is set up like a grid with numerous rows and columns, but when you scroll left or correct this grid curves with the scrolling, acting as if it's on a carousel.

With its enhanced applications, Honeycomb has been the greatest leap Android has taken in its growth and development ever due to the fact the OS came out. It has made Android much smarter in the process. As a result, Honeycomb will make Android tablets substantially even more competitive with the iPad than existing Android devices operating earlier versions of the Android software package.
