Last night at D: Dive Into Mobile event, Andy Rubin of Google talked about the big news of yesterday: Android 2.3 and the Nexus S. Along with that he showed up with a prototype of Motorola’s Android tablet (slated for Verizon) using NVIDIA’s dual-core Tegra 2 and 3D processors running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). The Moto tablet surprisingly didn’t have any physical buttons just all touchscreen. Android 3.0 is the update people with the Galaxy Tab will be aching for. With Honeycomb it will make the Android tablet experience different from the smartphone experience by giving tablet users more of a desktop look (splitting views into multiple panes side-by-side). The new update may spike sales and put more interest into the Galaxy Tab. Check out the 8 minute demo of the tablet and Android 3.0 below after the break.
