"honeycomb will not be open sourced until they decide it's ready" That's what I was thinking until the article speculates how smaller tablet providers will lose out.

If it was my platform, I know, I'd like to be first to market with well built tablets rather than a bunch of mediocre tablet attempts, which could reflect badly on the platform itself.

That ship has sailed.


And since most of those tablets used pre-Honeycomb Android, it's actually counterproductive to hold back Honeycomb if the goal is to raise the quality of the worst tablets.


I think the goal might be not to reduce the quality of the worst phones.


I was implying well built tablets to show off Android Honeycomb.
