Android Honeycomb 3.2 officially announced

When the Acer Iconia Tab A100 was delayed, it was because Acer had attempted to use Android Honeycomb 3.0 on the 7-inch device. At that time, the Honeycomb operating system was not optimized for devices that were smaller than 10-inches, which caused Acer to delay their A100 tablet. Then Honeycomb 3.2 rolled out and with the update came the support for 7-inch tablets, and that was pretty much what was known at that time.

Google has now officially announced the arrival of Honeycomb 3.2 along with the SDK, with some of the main features being:

• Optimizations / refinements across a wider range of tablets
• Compatibility Zoom – another option for viewing phone apps on tablets. Works like Apple’s way of doing this
• Load media directly from a removable SD card
• Extended screen support API – means more fine-tuned UI control across Android displays, specifically, you can target pixel density, rather than resolution.

As it stands, both the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer along with both versions of Motorola’s Xoom tablet will be receiving the Honeycomb 3.2 update.
