First Look: Honeycomb on stage at D: Dive into Mobile

Gingerbread, Nexus S, and now Honeycomb powered Motorola Tablet prototype. Â What a day.

Here are some of the quotes from the Live blog, taken from both AllThingsDigital and Engadget.

Walt (Mossberg): “The tablet. What version is that?”

Andy Rubin: “This is Honeycomb. And it’ll be out sometime next year.”

Walt: “Is this a version that happens to work on tablets, or is it for tablets?”

Andy: “It’s a bit of both.”

Andy about the tablet and the new Google Maps that will launch in the next few days for Android only – “So here we have Google Maps. It’s not quite out yet. I have it in SF. I just did a search. I can zoom in. As I zoom in you see I have more detail… taking advantage of 3D processing power. This is a NVIDIA processor, a dual core 3D processor.” Â He is showing off the 3D tilt view of buildings in Google Maps 5.

There will be video posted later on this evening or tomorrow morning by the D: Dive into Mobile team. Â I will add to this post at that point.
