We finally have the official word from Google regarding its latest version of its tablet version of Android. The SDK has been released to everyone who wants to have a play, with Google’s own Android Developer site uploading a comprehensive guide to what’s new in the Honeycomb 3.2 update.
Here are the edited highlights to be found in Android 3.2:
Optimizations for a wider range of tablets. A variety of refinements across the system ensure a great user experience on a wider range of tablet devices.
Compatibility zoom for fixed-sized apps. A new compatibility display mode gives users a new way to view these apps on larger devices. The mode provides a pixel-scaled alternative to the standard UI stretching, for apps that are not designed to run on larger screen sizes.
Media sync from SD card. On devices that support a removable SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them.
Extended screen support API. For developers who want more precise control over their UI across the range of Android-powered devices, the platform’s screen support API is extended with new resource qualifiers and manifest attributes, to also allow targeting screens by their dimensions.
Google’s full release notes for the 3.2 update can be found here. You can even download it yourself and have a play with it on your PC via the SDK emulator, if you fancy it.

/ July 17, 2011I got it on my Xoom yesterday. Seems a little faster, and the app zooming/resizing has made some of my previously phone-only apps usable.
