"Android's tablet-focused fork, Honeycomb, has been upgraded to a 3.1 version.\nThe upgrade will start with Motorola Xoom customers today and will be coming to Google TV this summer. The OS is bringing new, expandable widgets as well as support for USB peripherals, including cameras, joysticks, etc.\nAndroid 3.0, better known as Honeycomb, was intended from the start to be a fork of the operating system specifically intended to play nicely with tablets. However, some devs misapplied to OS to phone devices, causing the fork to be temporarily closed for unauthorized development.\nWhile Android 3.0 was setting the web on fire with wars and rumors of wars, Android's non-tablet fork, 2.X, was quietly continuing its own development. Android 2.3, or Gingerbread, was announced in October 2010 and began rolling out on devices shortly thereafter.\nHowever, we were warned by a Google exec during the Honeycomb-closing \"Androidocalypse\" that the tablet and mobile forks would soon be reunited, at which point the entire OS would be open for development once again. While Honeycomb 3.1 isn't exactly a fulfillment of that prophecy, it does bring Google TV a little closer to the intended large-screen Android experience.\nWe'll be updating you soon with information on Ice Cream Sandwich, the new Android version for mobile devices.\nMashable's Google I/O Coverage\n\nAndroid Honeycomb Goes to 3.1\nIce Cream Sandwich: Android\u2019s Newest, Sweetest Flavor\nGoogle TV Gets Android Market Access\nGoogle Launches Movies for Android\n100 Million Android Devices Now Activated [STATS]\nGoogle Music Is (Finally) Here\nHow Google\u2019s Music Service Works [VIDEO]\nGoogle Music Service To Debut Without the Labels\nAndroid@Home Lets You Control Your Lights &amp; Appliances Wirelessly\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
