Google unveils Android 3.2 Honeycomb SDK platform for developers -

Internet search services provider Google, Inc., US, has reportedly released the Android 3.2 Honeycomb SDK - the mobile operating system that powered the Motorola Xoom and the MediaPad - to the public.

The new version is said to deliver an optimum experience for 7-inch tablet computers. However, Google is yet to announce a release date for SDK tools.

With Android 3.2 Honeycomb SDK (now on API 13), developers can expect to enjoy support and optimisations for more tablets, compatibility zoom for phone apps, media sync from SD card, and an extended screen support API.

Android 3.2 Honeycomb is claimed to optimise Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips, mainstream tablet processors and smartphones, and improve Android app compatibility. With these features, users can expect a richer experience.

In its recent Q2 earnings report, Google CEO Larry Page announced several Android achievements. These include over 250,000 apps offered on the Android Market; more than 6 billion app installations since the platform started in 2008; at least 550,000 Android device activations per day; and 135 million active devices worldwide.
