Today at the Android-themed Google event, Google proudly gave an in-depth demonstration of the latest version of the Android operating system. Android 3.0, or better known as Honeycomb, is the first version of Android that has been optimized for tablets, and from what we’ve seen it looks extremely promising. Some of the new features include an improved notification system, the ability to run all Android apps, new developer features, optimized graphical performance, new apps demonstrated, and native video chat support.

We're not going to lie -- we're pretty excited to bring this to you guys. Here at CES 2011 we had a chance to sit down with Matias Duarte, the man behind webOS (as well as the Sidekick and Helio UIs), who's now heading up Google's user experience for Android. Matias is currently driving the interface and design for Android 3.0 (AKA Honeycomb), and it's clear that he's bringing his big, bold ideas to the Android platform. This is the first video interview Matias has done since leaving Palm, and we pressed the man on his involvement in Gingerbread and Honeycomb, what had to be torn down in Android, how desktop OSs can inform mobile devices, and much, much more

The Motorola XOOM will join the Galaxy Tab in the land of popular Android Tablets, but Motorola has a bit of an advantage on the XOOM as it's the first to run Android 3.0 honeycomb which is optimized for the tablet experience, one of my favorite being tabbed browsing.

The device sports a Nvidia Tegra 2, 1GHz dual core processor, a 10.1-inch screen (at 1280x800 and a 16:10 aspect ratio), rear 5MP camera, front 2MP camera and 4G connectivity.
