Google officially presented today Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the first version of Android OS specially made for tablet PCs. For this presentation, Google used Motorola Xoom tablets that will soon be available on the market, and you can see how well the tablets do in running both games and the entire operating system, which is quite complex. Monster Madness is the game presented in the clip above. The version on the tablet is a faithful port of the one on the consoles and you can see that it still moves extremely fluently, without lag or crashes, but the graphics aren't that great either.
In the clip below we have a brief presentation of the Android OS widgets and the shopping coupon system. Basically, Google will offer people discounts to make purchases both online and offline. The coupons can be used at various partner stores, Google "borrowing" the system from the Groupon company that it tried to acquire but failed.
Android Honeycomb looks very good, moves even better, has "borrowed" elements from BlackBerry Playbook and Safari, but in the end it is made by Google and we all expected the guys to copy something from others.
