This year's Mobile World Congress was the stage for dozens of new tablets. Unfortunately, Android Honeycomb tablets lacked presence; amongst the top Android tablets demonstrated (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2380546,00.asp) at the show, only the Motorola Xoom was running Honeycomb, whereas others were running either Android 2.3 or older versions. Moreover, most of the top apps announced (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2380532,00.asp) for the OS were not new, just reworked. Gigaom may believe (http://gigaom.com/mobile/what-honeycomb-means-for-apple-and-microsoft/)that Honeycomb tablets will be iPad's true competition, but progress has been slow, in my opinion. Honeycomb was born too early, primarily out pressure from the iPad getting a one year headstart in the tablet market.http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/02/22/147232/Android-Honeycomb-Born-Too-Early
