This is the first time Google has confirmed Froyo isn't a platform for iPad rivals. Google has stated that it currently isn't using Android on any tablets, hinting that it will have a tablet-centric OS soon, and for that purpose, Gingerbread and Honeycomb are presumely tablet-friendly versions of Android.
At least one Google executive has been saying publicly that the company doesn’t see the most recent iteration of the Android. operating system or the Android Market. as entirely appropriate for tablets, suggesting that tablet-specific OSes might be forking from the Android family in the near future. Hugo Barra is Google's director of products for mobiles. Mr Barra has said:
Froyo is not optimised for use on tablets, The way Android Market works is not going to be available on devices that don’t allow applications to run correctly. Which devices do and which don’t will be unit-specific… If you want Android Market on that platform [a tablet running Froyo], the apps just wouldn’t run, it is just not designed for that form factor.
In light of all of this, it can be safely presumed that Google is looking to bring a sort of dazzling competition via high powered Android devices with custom UIs and animations, to literally take over the market dominatated by Apple's iPad.
