Google Demos Honeycomb OS on Motorola Tablet Prototype

Google will launch its Honeycomb OS next year, Andy Rubin announced on Monday, December 6 while speaking at D: Dive Into Mobile.

Rubin also demoed an early version of Honeycomb on a Motorola Tablet Prototype.

Google in the past has said that its Android 2.2 Froyo and Android 2.3 Gingerbread Operating Systems are not honed for use on tablet computers for various reasons such as form factor and the limited number of pixels. Its Honeycomb OS will provide full support for tablets.

Motorola's prototype device is the first tablet computer known to be based on the Honeycomb OS.

According to technology website End Gadget, Motorola's tablet features video chat, an NVIDIA processor and a "dual core 3D processor."

It has earlier been reported that Verizon and Motorola are building a tablet to compete against Apple's iPad. The tablet will feature support for Verizon's wireless video services.

The device could be tied to Verizon's FiOS Fiber to home pay TV service.

Verizon is in the process of launching its LTE based 4G network with support for data rates of 5-12 Mbps that could allow it to extend the reach of FiOS, allowing users to view HD video while away from home using Motorola tablets.

Earlier this month, during a keynote address at the Credit Suisse 2010 Technology Conference, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha confirmed that Motorola will be launching tablet computers in the near future.

Motorola considers both 7-inch and 10-inch tablets as viable sizes, Jha added.

The screen size of the prototype tablet demoed by Andy Rubin is not yet known.
