Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb means Google is now officially at war with Apple. The lines are drawn. The sides chosen. This is going to get nasty, but there doesn't have to be a clear winner for consumers to win. The Apple iPad stood alone in 2010 while Google was finalizing Android for the slate form factor. If this were a race, the iPad would be miles ahead while Android was still packing carbs. But it's not a race. It's a fictional war, and while Google might be a bit behind in both market share and consumer awareness, it's never too late to introduce a new, major platform like Android 3.0. But how can the upcoming Honeycomb devices -- the Motorola Xoom and the LG G-Slate -- stand strong against not the current iPad, but the upcoming second generation?
