Android 3.0–3.2.6 "Honeycomb" is a discontinued version of the Android platform that was designed for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. Honeycomb debuted with the Motorola Xoom in February 2011.[1][2] Besides the addition of new features, Honeycomb introduced a new so-called "holographic" user interface theme and an interaction model that built on the main features of Android, such as multitasking, notifications and widgets.[3][4]
Features
New features introduced in Honeycomb include the following:
- The Email and Contacts apps use a two-pane UI.
- The Gallery app now lets users view albums and other collections in full-screen mode, with access to thumbnails for other photos in a collection.
- The Browser app replaces browser windows with tabs, adds an incognito mode for anonymous browsing, and presents bookmarks and history in a unified view, among other features.
- Redesigned keyboard to make entering text easier on large screen devices such as tablets.
- A Recent Apps view for multitasking.
- Customizable home screens (up to five).
