"&lt;img class=&quot;shot2&quot; src=&quot;http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/honeycombbee.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;This morning Google &lt;a href=&quot;https://beta.techcrunch.com/2011/02/02/live-from-googles-android-honeycomb-event/&quot;&gt;held an event&lt;/a&gt; to showcase Android Honeycomb, the new version of the mobile OS that is focused on tablets. There wasn&#039;t much news around the OS — we&#039;ve seen it previewed in a few demos — but the team did show off some of Honeycomb&#039;s slickest features, like widgets and an improved 3D rendering engine.\n\nBut what about actually &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; the tablet OS?  For all the whiz-bang previews we&#039;ve seen, very few people have actually written about what it&#039;s like to use these tablets. Unfortunately today&#039;s event wasn&#039;t the ideal place to do a full hands-on, either — there were dozens of reporters and only four tablets (most people got to play with one for maybe five minutes). But I wanted my fill of Honeycomb, so I stuck around til the crowd finally died down, put on my blinders, and took the Motorola Xoom for a 20+ minute spin. Apologies to the guy waiting behind me — I honestly didn&#039;t realize you were there.\n\nHere are some of the features and apps that stood out — be sure to check out the video below for some of these in action."
