Google Shows Off Honeycomb and Web Market

Today Google had an event that they announced last week, to show us some live displays of Honeycomb and what to expect in the newest update in the operating system for tablets. The UI ran very snappy on the Motorola Xoom’s they were using for the presentations and they have put a lot of work into this latest operating system.

The tablet experience looks really good and the 3D graphics that Google has integrated into Honeycomb has upped the bar when compared to it’s competition. When watching the device being used it is very advanced and it is clear that Google is learning how to make a top notch operating system. To check out the presentation from today click here.

Moving along to more of a shocker announcement was the web Android App Store. You can browse to market.android.com to look and browse all the Android Apps there are. Not only can you browse them, if you log in to your Google account you can install an app right from the web to your phone. Easy as clicking the install button and then looking at your phone to watch the app install.

Hopefully this will cure some of the issues that Google has had with browsing the market and having trouble finding certain apps. Either way, how could you not like this feature? Google also announced in-app purchases for developers to take advantage of, and hopefully this will allow the platform to keep growing by giving the developers more push to develop better apps. It is great to see more additions coming from Google and they are heading in the right direction.
