Subsequent versions were more generalized and allowed a greater variety of hardware choices which is when Google released the source. I think Google's decision to prevent Honeycomb fragmentation was reasonably prudent - evidence the Windows 7 phones all require a Snapdragon single core processor so there is virtually no product differentiation. Their whole intent to merge the telephone version (ie Gingerbread) and the tablet version (Honeycomb) is now realized (Ice Cream Sandwich) and in an amazingly short period of time - evidence the total lack of Windows tablets despite the amount of resources Microsoft is throwing at development as they become increasingly irrelevant in mobile technology. ---- ---- I gather that Canonical has been pushing hard at this. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM ---- ---- Good question - not me I think that a tablet device and a tablet computer scratch 2 different itches and wanting to have that scratched by the same hardware device is probably impractical, if nothing else. Given the relatively low cost of the hardware these days, it's much more realistic to simply buy both but of course there's always some people who just want to do things just to see if they can.
