And yet, some new features appear on this operating system (such as processing new graphics engine or the ability to support multiple screen size) were present on some tablet form, will certainly be for smartphones, devices that run Android to be “homogeneous” and close together.
Although at present, Apple’s iPad still dominate the market leading position, but on a Google Honeycomb gave very favorable position to catch up with Apple, like they had won the race between Android for IOS.
But the “victim” of Honeycomb will not just Apple but also by Honeycomb, Microsoft will alter the prospects of the products in the fields of mobile and desktop.
Many features of Honeycomb has expressed determination to “catch up” IOS and Apple, but they did more than that: A number has surpassed other platforms such as Apple Computer’s board:

Microsoft is back with a smartphone with Windows Phone7, but no operating system for mobile computer table in addition to integrated panel PC with Windows 7, Windows 7, which is clearly not developed from the ground up induction machine.
In terms of mobile operating system, Microsoft is standing and looking at recently is the iPad tablet Honeycomb sold millions of products. Microsoft is facing pressure at the desktop, such as smartphones outsold traditional PC sales fall in other companies. And this is very dangerous.
Put simply, Honeycomb as a mobile platform and ecosystem that mild to Microsoft have now. But they were slow, and consequently has been under standing behind to compete with Hewlett-Packard or RIM … the segment of small tablet computer.
