Well, I agree with you on some points completely. Though.the ipad was not rev 1 -- which version of iOS did the iPad run?

While honeycomb is android 3 -- it is a total rebuild.

However, to your point - the UX should be first in ALL of the android space's mind -- ESPECIALLY given that they dont have the design (UX/UI) powerhouse behind them that is Apple.

Do you honestly think they rebuilt scroll views and the web browser completely to get Android 3 launched?

I know from my visits to the Verizon store to play with one that they hype it up as "completely new OS", but other than making the hardware buttons software finally, it looks and acts identically. As technical people, I think we both know that this is a revision of Android, not a completely new OS.

More to your point - iPad ran iOS 3.2 - the 3rd revision of iOS. The Xoom is running Android 3 - the 3rd revision of Android.
