On a different note, i can not believe that Honeycomb (that will be the tablet version won't it?) would need such high specs  I had rather hoped they would make it also usable on lower spec tablets.. Such a shame!

1- Obviously, PB Global was faced with storing several boatloads of hardware acrueing warehousing costs while the firmware was polished or shipping the product with unfinished firmware. One way incured costs, the other brought revenue but put their brand's reputation at risk.
2- The Honeycomb requirements are merely rumors right now. Plus if you read the fine print on the rumors you'll see that what are bandied about are *optimum" specs. Just as Windows 7 can run acceptably on Netbooks but only really shines on Core-based hardware, Honeycomb might run acceptably on lower-spec hardware. But nobody should risk anoxia waiting for it.
It *is* a full re-design of the product, after all.
When it comes to the IQ the most we can reasonably expect to run well is 2.2.
We *might* see 2.3 in some form but 3.0? Best not to even dream of it; disappointment lies that way.
