Android 3.0 is upon us and Google has revealed some of its unique features. We break down and explain each new feature and what it means to you. Features include 3D effects, bluetooth tethering, new UI, an Action Bar, a new System Bar, customizable home screens, improved apps, and more.
In a small sign that Android 3.0 is nearing release, Google has created a preview page and SDK for Honeycomb (its internal codename) developers. Digging around, some coders even found the new logo (seen above).
From the new logo and design, it’s clear that Google’s designers saw Tron Legacy and thoroughly enjoyed the futuristic, neon, cyan computer world of the film. Honeycomb is the first tablet version of Android. Everything from the navigation buttons to the effects to the clock in Android 3.0 has a sci-fi geekness to it. Fortunately, we like that.
Below we’ve listed some new features and screenshots of the upcoming tablet OS, which will debut with theMotorola Xoom on Feb. 17. Much of this information comes via Google’s Android developer blog.
