So yesterday 26 JAN 2011 the Honeycomb Software Developers Kit (SDK) was launched. Going through the SDk and the most noticeable problem is that its pretty much useless. The SDK and the ANDROID platform is made for the ARM architecture and the the SDK is attempting to emulate it, and its not working to well. Google has noticed this problem and said to working on a fix. Other than the harshness of the software at this moment 3.0 looks like it could be a very good competitor to the ipad. Keeping in mind that this is an OS that was made for a tablet. Unlike the ipad in my honest opinion it feels like using an oversized ipod or iphone.
On another note the 3.0 software is being made to handle the new NIVIDA Tegra 2 cpus that will be clocked at 1.0ghz. and have Graphical hardware acceleration and support for large screens. Notice the word support their is no hardware minium for the 3.0 not this doesn't mean its getting ported to The G1 but their is always some sliver of hope.
