To follow up on my previous post:

It was just revealed on the Android podcast, that the Action Bar in Honeycomb is actually a fragment!

Why is this a GREAT decision? Because it ensures that app developers can re-use the action-bar fragment on smartphones formatted for the smaller screen (eg. have it scroll off-screen when the screen is scrolled), or have it turned off altogether! The bottom line is this: Honeycomb apps can be made to *easily* accommodate smaller screens in a single APK. Not only do you have architecture independence (SDK), you also get screen independence with a wee bit o' work.

The backwards compatibility ensures that the number of apps will continue to grow without sacrificing compatibility as the OS matures. Those 200K apps in the market will be available for Honeycomb on launch and 300K will be available for Ice Cream Sandwich when it hits. Wonerful.

This just in:
Josh of Engadget just mentioned (in my recording) that he think's he is going to go Android. He mentioned that Android has the functionality that he's looking for, and he's not getting the same from the iPhone/iPad.

The sky is falling.
