Andy Rubin, speaks about the turmoil on Honeycomb - A few days ago we published a story in which we examined the possible whys of not releasing the source code for the latest version of Android, created specifically for tablet devices, called Android Honeycomb. In the network has said that Google could be changing the strategy that have been preserved in Android since its inception. Raised the possibility that Google was to monitor changes to make in your interface or the hardware to use to integrate Android into devices. Given all this information, Andy Rubin, the so-called "father" of Android, has stepped forward to clarify these issues.

Comments

Google from the beginning was released as an open source system, which could be used in any device you want to adapt, as they have always allowed the modification of any part of the system itself, because it releases all source code and has full control. Since the release of Android Honeycomb, along with the presentation of Motorola Xoom, which was the first device to feature this version and has been the flagship of this new tablet version of the Google operating system, have said several things.

Honeycomb code

The main theme of comments was the reason why Google has not released the source code of Honeycomb. It has been speculated that Google was trying to track changes on this version of the operating system. Like the fact that they might be trying to control the hardware to use if you wanted to incorporate Android Honeycomb inside the devices.

Declarations

Andy Rubin could not be silent, and decided to discuss the real reasons for not yet published sources Android version of tablets. The main reason was the fact that they are working to adapt all the code to work both in tablet devices such as mobile terminals, so that no large differences in the use of the operating system and all users can enjoy same benefits and facilities of Android.

He added that as the code is adapted, will be released worldwide in order to be used and modified by anyone, breaking with all the rumors that a possible change in strategy by Google, or a shift towards a path more "closed." We do not know if this adaptation will end resulting in a new version 3.x supports both tablets, as mobile. Or if we are facing a 2.4 version, incorporating new features and interface views Honeycomb, but adapted to mobile terminals.

When?

We wait for Google programmers finish the job and make them known to be sure.
