Video: Google showcases Android 3.0 operating system

 

Google posted the above promo for the CES before hastily hiding it, but not before a few viewers downloaded it and upped it again to YouTube.  Looking at the video, Google has definitely put in a lot of work to bring out a likeable OS that is both fast and good on the eyes.  Slightly reminiscent of the Tron: Legacy, the minimalistic approach to things that Google loves so much is all there and so are the improvements to many integrated apps like the GMail client with a better layout or the updated YouTube client.  The Google Books apps is sure to be loved by many and the much-awaited Google Talk video support looks promising.  With more modern color schemes, the OS manages to look slick and spacious with a revamped homescreen.

As the video suggests, Android 3.0 is designed as a tablet-only version and will definitely look great once rolled out and with the current deluge of tablets this CES, we should be seeing a lot of Honeycomb passed around in 2011.
