The Honeycomb news isn’t stopping today. I’m actually surprised that we haven’t seen a formal new release from Google yet! Details are likely to come out in the next few hours for the G-Slate but for the time being, at least we know it’s real. Not much to see of the device in the video which appears to be a variant of the Honeycomb video that has been doing the rounds today.
The video is accompanied by this description:
Here’s an exclusive look at the upcoming Androidâ„¢ Honeycomb-powered T-Mobile® G-Slateâ„¢ with Googleâ„¢, by LG. Expected to be available in coming months, the G-Slate will be the first 4G tablet from the two companies powered by Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), the upcoming version of Google’s Android platform optimized for tablets.
Standby for more details soon.
Update: TMobile appear to be putting up more Honeycomb videos in their YouTube CES channel including this one of the browser. notice the tabs
Hi chippy. Found out if galaxy tab 1 can’t support honeycomb? Would be a major blow if that happens for everyone including manufacturers.
I’m hearing there might be a dual-core requirement. Totally unconfirmed though.
Nope, no dual-core requirement. There will never be a hard hardware requirement, not so long as Android remains ‘open’. However they can’t release updates if the hardware is not capable of running it, just like the TMobile G1 never got past Android 1.6.

Be a shame if it was true, to see the tab replace so soon. Was beginning to really enjoy the tab.
Oh wel, at least I got an excuse to go buy me self a Xoom. :D
