Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Google reportedly leaked then made private a "CES promo video" of its next generation Android software, Android 3.0, aka "Honeycomb."
While manufacturers are busy showing off their new Android 3.0-powered tablets at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, the video provides the first real glimpse of the 3.0 operating system in use.
It also suggests (thanks to the "Built Entirely for Tablet" text early on in the video) that Google's Android 3.0 operating system will be reserved just for tablets.
The video shows a tablet running a vastly improved user interface designed specifically for touchscreen devices.
Technology blog Engadget says of the new operating system, "this looks more or less nothing like Android. Sure, the browser is the same, and the Gmail app will be familiar to iPad users, but trust us when we say there's a lot of lovely UI in the video above to admire."
The video first appeared on Google's Offical Android Developers YouTube channel but was shortly after made private. Android blog Android Police grabbed a backup of the video and have posted it on their own YouTube channel here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-80QD5Zjyc.
