Honeycomb - Android 3.0
I realize that we're still waiting for the Android 2.2 upgrade for the eDGe, but I'm curious whether Android 3.0 ("Honeycomb") will be able to run on the eDGe. Will Android 3.0 require a different, more powerful hardware configuration?

Unless enTourage officially announces otherwise, assume that the current EE and PE will not support Android 3.0. They're having a heck of a time with 2.2, and 3.0 is even more advanced and has greater hardware requirements (after all, it's several generations newer, and what software do you know that works faster on older devices with each release? ).

After 2.2 I would be thrilled if they finish adding the e-ink requests that many of us have add (and hopefully, the SDK then.) I would speculate that 3.0 would be saved for a new version of the Edge. Honestly, I would not expect that from them, anyways. If they give us what's in my first sentence I think that should make just about everyone happy (it will me, at least.)

Windows XP/Vista to Windows 7 is another example on how an OS can speed up from a previous release... However, during install it will prevent you from trying to install on a low powered device. It speeds up and improved netbook performance as a great example. I would hope in Android 3.0 they found out how to better optimize the code to provide the same benefits as it's Desktop counterpart(Linux). I assume Android 3.0 would use a newer kernel than 2.2. Look at much better the Linux kernel has gotten for slower machines when switching from 2.4 to 2.6. I admit, early versions of 2.6 were horrible, but now it's much better than 2.4 ever was. In the end it really comes down to the core developers on the Android 3.0 project and if they are properly optimizing their code for OEMs don't need to fork out new quad-core ARM chips for their tablets. imao |

Android is OS for mobile application. Android will provide platform and providing tool and API application and by using Java script language we can make application for mobile.

I have a feeling that Entourage is going to introduce a brand new device with 3.0 and they are cataloging our views on what we would want on a new device.

Similarly, to imagine that everyone at EnTourage is so busy getting 2.2 (Froyo) ready that they have no time to make a public statement is equally "magical thinking". The only reasonable conclusion at this point, based on the history of other companies, and what is (or is not) going on right now, is that we are observing the end of EnTourage as we know it. It may assume some new form, under a different name, but the times they are a' changin. |

Again, I just care about flawless integration between e-ink & tablet, so I dont really care that much about OS. Since it's a device for working on texts (otherwise you picked up the wrong one for ya), I just care about professional core apps for academics, teachers, scientists, students.

Are there published hardware requirements for Honeycomb?

I have been playing around with the Honeycomb sdk and from what i can tell it would take some killer tweaking to get it to run on the EE and like you mentioned it more then likely would run slower then drying paint.... |

A version of honeycomb runs not that bad on a G1 Android phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974087
Specs of a G1: Qualcomm® MSM7201A™, 528 MHz ROM: 256 MB RAM: 192 MB Not optimized, there is no source available and still works pretty good on these specs. So if Entourage releases an SDK, Google releases the source of Honeycomb and there is a dev willing to port and optimize I don't see why it should not be possible to run Honeycomb on the EE. Hmmm.. now I think of it.. the higher resolution of the EE screen might slow things down though. |
