Honeycomb still seems to be a work in progress. Like the whole tablet 
market, really. Several vendors have persisted with releasing tablets 
running 2.x versions of Android, in spite of Google’s admission that these 
versions are not suited to tablets. (Contrast Microsoft’s strict control 
over Windows Phone: you can’t build a tablet running that, and that’s that.)

And people have bought them. There have been some remarkable products coming 
in under the radar, like the discovery that the Nook Color is so easy to 
root, you just put a custom OS on the SD card and it will automatically boot 
from that. On top of which, B&N released an official software update to make 
it more explicitly Androidish.

In short, if you only keep your eye out for big names and big ad campaigns, 
you’re going to miss the real innovation.
