Learn the keys to Android 3.0 Honeycomb in its world

Which you have attended today the global launch of Android 3.0 Honeycomb Mostly ye stayed with the same face to us. The guys at Google have not released many new features that say about their new operating system for tablets beyond those already knew. Anyway, not a bad time to take a brief look at what they had at the conference to be clear what are the strengths (the weaker we will see in the next Mobile World Congress) Honeycomb, with special reference to new Android Market in web.

Recapitulating in 3, 2, 1 ... No more mobile tablets understood as problems of gigantism. Honeycomb change their appearance by a closer to a desktop PC. The top bar includes a menu of active applications in multitasking, while the bottom is responsible for e-mail notifications. These notifications are discretitas and add improvements such as the photo of the contact in case of e-mails or messages from Twitter.

The notification area is also used for quick access to multimedia player functions to control very common configurations, such as energy consumption of the screen or WiFi. All these details until recently, were only accessible by entering the widget or configuration. Applications such as Gmail, cease to be, finally, a wicked long mailing list as a string of sausages.

Honeycomb version incorporates several areas of information and a sliding menu system that reminds server Windows hubs Phone 7. Anyway, the big screen now it is well used and we assume that other applications such as Twitter and Facebook managers will benefit from this support. Also noticed many improvements in the tool to click and drag items.

Honeycomb All menus have been greatly improved aesthetic appearance, with highlights and transparency are more typical of a computer than a phone. The reason is that Android 3.0 best optimizes the use of graphics acceleration in 2D and 3D, which provides much smoother transitions between menus, the new wall of Youtube, or turning pages of an eBook.

The smoothness of the graphics acceleration of Xoom Motorola (tablet chosen for presentation) dual processor shows in other applications such as the already known three-dimensional maps from Google Maps or video games. In the latter respect, the 3D game demos that have shown promise some great potential, with a somewhat geometric appearance yet, but with very good shadow effects, lighting and textures, and the ability to handle many polygons on screen, at least in appearance.

Hopefully the developers will be encouraged to create more and more games for this new platform. Honeycomb widgets have grown in size and become more interactive. In the email widget, for example, we can see the emails and browse the list without going into the application. We assume that the same will happen with third party applications.

Almost from the beginning of the presentation, Google has long boasted that the benefits of Honeycomb apply to existing software with just a few lines of code. We will see that programmers say about it. Along with information widgets, widgets are kind gallery (photos, bookmarks, videos ...) that work like a stacked deck of cards that can move from one card to another.

Do not look bad. The media player is another aspect that has greatly improved with the addition of a carousel or previews that covers more than one will remind you of your open windows in Windows 7. Android Market was another pending for Mountain View. The larger screen size has resulted in a Web interface much more comfortable and clean.

The information in each application is more accessible, but the best is in its ability to integrate with all the Google environment and services in the cloud. It has integrated applications and recommend buying through channels such as e-mail or Twitter, and the market is now accessible via the web.

Our partner Kote offers you all the details of the new market in mobile Buzz Tech News. We close this review with the new camera's menu of Android, which now consists of a ring-like interface more convenient to handle than we have now. The camera software also has better integrated video chat application with Google Talk, so now enjoy the video image stabilizer and tools to optimize data traffic available.

Anyway, the video chat demos were not that spectacular to say. We are left with a general feeling of 'it was time. " It was time to improve its Google Android for the market tablet. The ultimate result of this new version can not judge it to test it thoroughly, but at least you will note in Mountain View to improve its software really, not makeup.

At Mobile World Congress will warm more data.
