Default Flight navigation/moving map software for Android System

Mmm ultimately there should be one version of apps (at least apps as
simple as contacts etc.) across both phone and tablet devices. One of
the publicly announced features of Honeycomb is "fragments" so
applications can refactor themselves to run on a tablet or phone
format device.


Yes, that's going to be added to the Java APIs, and unlikely to be
very useful for the C/C++ apps like we're talking about here. Those
apps are unlikely to run much differently on a Honeycomb 10" tablet
from a Froyo 10" tablet, save for the fact that Honeycomb tablets are
likely to come with faster smaller cooler hardware.

Given how tightly Google seems to have contained Honeycomb development
and third party access I'd be fairly surprised if Google employees are
giving lots of factual information to folks.


They're not leaving their prototype phones in bars (badum-ching), but
I'm willing to bet a beer on the reasonable accuracy of my sources.
The placement of the core apps in the market is to primarily address
the fragmentation concerns -- it will make it easier for the core apps
to get updated instead of relying on hardware makers and carriers to
ship new builds. It may or may not make it in to Honeycomb, though.
