Is crunchy AOSP Honeycomb on your hardware of choice? But there may be a bit of a hold up though, as Google will not release the Android 3.0 source code in the near future. Confirmation of it has now been received.
This statement was released by Google:
Android 3.0, Honeycomb, was designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes and improves on Android favorites such as widgets, multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customization. While we’re excited to offer these new features to Android tablets, we have more work to do before we can deliver them to other device types including phones. Until then, we’ve decided not to release Honeycomb to open source. We’re committed to providing Android as an open platform across many device types and will publish the source as soon as it’s ready
So it’s quite clear that the company’s motivation here is the same as it’s been all along – Google wants to restrict Android to the devices it was designed for. However, the company had previously insisted that earlier versions of the Android were not for tablets.
