Dual Core Processors Is perhaps Mandatory for Android Honeycomb [Android]

If Bobby Cha of Enspert is to be believed, Google’s upcoming Android 3.0 release, Honeycomb, will only work on devices with dual-core processors . Oh, and 1280×720 resolution screens may also be a must.

According to PC World, the Korean electronics executive told them Honeycomb would target higher-end tablets initially, requiring that they run the Tegra 2 chipset (until more mobile devices implement the ARM Cortex A9, a minimum of). And apparently, a 7-inch screen is the the smallest size this OS can be allowed on. As PC World also points out, this can create an engaging product fragmentation if the rumor is right, as devices like the Galaxy Tab wouldn’t have the capacity to upgrade to a few.0, not to mention any current Android smartphone.

But I’m sure we’ll hear plenty more about this inside the near, near future, seeing as the Moto Tablet is forthcoming. [ PC World via Boy Genius ]
