Android Honeycomb: is Google shooting itself in the foot?

  • 420 words

This video is great! Yes, quality wise is quite poor, it looks like the first movies from Pixar. But it’s quite amusing and “teasing”. Take a second to watch it: Definitely, Motorola is looking better and better at every new product (even though their market share is still ridiculously small).
