Sources speaking to gadget blog Pocket-lint have confirmed that Google will launch the latest version of its Android mobile operating system at the Google I/O conference to be held in May, 2011.

Details concerning this latest iteration of the OS are nearly non-existent but Google’s Andy Rubin did previously confirm to TechCrunch that this version’s code name is Ice Cream, following tastefully (pun intended) in the tracks of Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb.

Android 3.0 Tablet Only?

Tuesday, 04 January 2011 12:54 Written by Chris 0 Comments

The latest report offering details on the upcoming Android 3.0 “Honeycomb,” this one from PCMag.com, suggests that the latest incarnation of Google’s mobile operating system will require dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors in order to fully operate, indicating that a tablet-only release is a possibility.

If true – the information is as of yet unconfirmed by any official source within Google – this news would mean that current Android-based tablets, such as Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, would not be compatible with Honeycomb due to their lack of necessary hardware. When all is said and done, it would appear that Android will be temporarily split between smartphones and tablets until a later release is able to handle both types of device smoothly.

Motorola’s upcoming unnamed tablet, revealed last month by Google, will be the first device to run Android 3.0.
