HTC have been on
Twitter this week answering questions to concerned future
HTC Flyer owners, who are worried that the 7 inch
tablet which will ship with
Android Gingerbread aka 2.3 won't get a
Honeycomb upgrade.
However
HTC have been quick to respond explaining that once the Honeycomb
source code is made available to them they will work on an
upgrade.
This
news not only gives possible Flyer owners a bright future, but it also goes someway to giving the rest of
us an idea of what
factories really know about the
tablet specific Honeycomb
OS.
Although Google have been owning up about rushing Honeycomb out and claiming they don't even know if the 3.0
source code will run on a
phone's architecture, we have
HTC here claiming that their
tablet designed around a
phone OS WILL be able to fun Honeycomb!
If this is the case and manufacturers do in fact know how Honeycomb behaves on
phone hardware,
what is the real reason for Google closing the once
open source operating system?
