Next Android version will be called Froyo,
says Erick Tseng

Exclusive
Proving once again that those who don't watch The Engadget Show are always going to be one step behind those who do, our latest star guest Erick Tseng has dropped a dollop of exclusive wisdom on us: Android's next big iteration will be known as Froyo. That's short for "frozen yogurt" and fits right in line with the zany naming scheme that has delivered us Cupcakes, Donuts, and Eclairs so far. If you had your money on Flan being next in that alphabetical order, sorry to disappoint. No additional info could be squeezed out of the Google man at present -- such as how much further along Froyo will be from Android 2.1 (technically considered part of Eclair) or when we might expect the upgrade -- but we've got a name and that should be plenty to get us started on another wonderful journey of soothsaying and speculation.
2.1 is actually part of Eclair - as noted in the article.
Froyo looks to be whatever number Google wants to trot out next, whether that be 2.5, or 3.0.
Anyone in the 29th batch get a confirmation yet. I haven't.

You're in Japan as well? I hope it takes only 2 days to get here. The wait is killing me.
Chinese new year starts I think today, if they wait to ship it will be 3 weeks.

I was one of those 50 un-fortunate guys whose shipping date changed from 9th Jan to 15-22 Jan and to 29th Jan, its already 3:00 p.m in U.A.E and no news from NI or factory. I'm not asking for any tracking no, just need a confirmation at moment that its shipped. I really don't know what to talk about this company at the moment. We all have waited so long with false hope. At-least NI don't fails us again.
Well, it is almost 8 pm in China at the moment, so I lost my faith in it at this moment...
why why why???
All i can say is HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

Keep your faith, but I think, fairytale figures are not sending any tablets.
You will wait in vain, I'm afraid.
Hope is what - the world lives on...

Think positive. Better to get adam in March, than next year.
Honestly, I am ok with it being delayed, but in all honesty its bad form to post a sarcastic blog about how everything is not delayed, and then have it delayed:

Better to have a Xoom in February than an Adam in March.
...all kidding aside, I'm really hoping they got the shipments out and just haven't updated things. With the holidays going in in China right now, it could REALLY slow things down and I'm not interested in waiting any longer.
--edit--
And to the topic of the thread, there hasn't been any change in my order status lately. (Moved from the 9th to the 15th-22nd window to the 29th.)

Yeah, I am not going to wait if my order gets pushed back again. This is getting rediculous. Their are so many great tablets coming out and if I can't get my Adam soon I am going to go else where. Don't get me wrong, I really want the Adam but I feel add if notion ink thinks that everyone is going to put up with continual delays without giving us any info as to what's going on. They should at least give us an update as it is the 29th.

I honestly cannot see us (the 9th > 15th-22nd > 29th club) getting their Adams for at least 2 weeks - Chinese New Year.
A shameful lack of communication from NI and hve you guys realised the "cancel your order has been removed from the NI preorder update page.
I have been a loyal follower for 9 months, I'm just disappointed to say I no longer believe anything posted by Rohan regarding hardware specs and especially shipping dates.
Rohan Shravan just outright refuses to update on shipping which is an enormous worry. The last he said was "2nd and 3rd" batches would ship on time and then slips in the Chinese New Year problem.
I don't even have a pre-order so i am thinking April+ for me(and many others) to have a chance to get one.
I don't envy Mr. Shravan to much, he must be under much stress from all directions.
Well, maybe........
- I read somewhere that a notification will be send only after it arrived in Hong Kong, not out of the fabric
- The cancellation link from our preordersite has been removed
- Rohan said in his blog the 2nd batch will be in time
- There is no statement of delay such as the last delay (12 seconds before end of day)
- Chinese New Year starts on tuesday?
So maybe, just maybe we will get our trackingmail on monday, the last day before Chinese New Year???
Fingers crossed :-o

I read someone in NotionAddicts requested a cancellation on the shipping date, and was told (s)he could still cancel as his (her) Adam was not shipped.
So, I rather assume the shipment was delayed without any notice / a change in the estimated shipping date on the NI site than get disappointed.
I'm pretty sure Rohan stated on the blog that all the Adams would be shipped out even during the chinese new year. And that a small batch of screens got busted on their way over, but the company that makes them will stay and fix the ones that got broken before they leave for the new year.
Here's his quote taken from the blog:
"The second & third phase of shipments will start on time.
Little bad and good news, one of our shipments for the touch screens got damaged while transportation which is going to effect a fraction of our customers. To make things worse, its New Year in China and every manufacturing plant is closed. But our touch-screen partners, Sinotek (also known as Sintek), will stay open for the Chinese New Year and re-manufacture all the remaining touch screens to deliver. I am making this special note, because we are really overwhelm at their response and want to thank all the employees at their firm who are going to miss their New Year celebrations and home visits."
So have hope! At least you made it into the pre orders. I have to wait until they open it up to the public.
Well I finally got through SteamTV, and they sent me a email in regards to eLocity a10.
Thank you for your interest in the eLocity A10. The units are expected to reach retail during the last week of May. These got rescheduled because of the issues with Honeycomb which you are well aware of.
Meanwhile, you may also check the FAQs on our website where you might find the answers to your other queries. Please visit http://www.elocitynow.com/support_faqs.shtml
Let us know if you have any other question. Thank you once again. Please do not forget to register your tablet. You can register at http://www.elocitynow.com/registration/index.shtml

Call us Toll Free at (800)-206-6423 - CT 9am-5pm M-F
So they were having issues, but having the guy from Steamtv say Honeycomb, looks promising. I'm just hoping it can be released by the end of May.
Thanks for the info.
It seems all the tablets are being delayed
Regards.
I'm curious though, after eLocity a10 gets released I wonder if Dexter will make mods for the future on the device.
I don't think elocity will get honeycomb, same reason the A7 cannot get google market, i call a few time and tell them about how they rom handle certain game that need to download file to the sdcard and all they keep telling me is that they will pass it on to they tech...
So what's going on with the A10?
Sent from my Mynized EVo 4G
I'm not sure if it will ever be released. The guy told me from elocity it was suppose to be released at the last week of May, it never came. Looks like they just toss out release dates with nothing to back it up with. I have given up all hopes at this point.

I hope everyone that pre-ordered got a full refund plus interest by now.

There's a lot of shoulds in that blog....
No source or proof in the article. That's the ****tiest information source that has probably been posted.
I have to agree this is nothing more than a speculative blog post.
There is already a win7 tablet (W500) in the mix. Sure, that line will get win8 eventually. Now please tell me something I couldn't already see coming down the pike.
4D
Should be on the 'rumours' forum
Of course it's still a rumour, but it's nothing shocking that Asus is already working on it's next generation of tablets. A Transformer 2 will be a logical choice given it's success. It's more than once reported that Asus is already working on a Tegra-3 tablet.

http://androidandme.com/2011/05/new...on-tablets-with-tegra-3-and-intel-processors/
Nah, this information is reliable, it comes from a French high tech website that reviewed the transformer, the ASUS rep told them this piece of info, that got relayed to this ****ty blog and such, etc...
Whatever is sure, is that a transformer 2 will come in 2012 and windows 8 will run on it be it officially or by hack.

Just thought you guys would be keen to know - after chasing it up with Acer New Zealand, they have confirmed the kernel source will be released on the 22nd of this month, so that's exciting news.

What form of communication and how reliable is the information?
great news...
but, where is the source ?
any link ?
btw, just 6 days to go then
So, that'll be just in time for 3.1 then, and probably a different kernel!
I hope they release the 3.1 kernel source a bit quicker...
I opened a support task which quoted the license they include on the device back to them, and politely asked where I could take them up on the offer of source code. I made it very clear I was talking about the kernel, and not honeycomb as a whole.
They passed it up the chain straight away, and then came back to say the reoly they'd had was that it would be placed on the Acer website on the 22nd of this month. I'll screenshot the support task in a moment.
I think it will be 3.0.1 not 3.1 though.
Here you go, screenshot of the support task here. I think I've shopped out all my details, but in case I haven't and someone spots something, please let me know! I'm always paranoid with posting screenshots...
Crap, totally didn't. One second...
There, got it this time! Please excuse the terribly classy MS Paint removing my name the bottom time...
http://i.imgur.com/eCVh1.jpg
Sadly I agree with the general consensus and suspect this will be 3.0.1 source and we will probably have to wait just as long for 3.1.
Is this a deliberate delay to keep the released source behind the latest running version, or a paranoid conspiracy theory from an individual who has been at work for way too long today? You decide!
I choose to hope that, given I heard the 23rd as a release date for 3.1, that the 22nd might see a simultaneous release of 3.1 and the 3.1 kernel source. Lets stay positive!
Although, I'd note, that just having the source to all Acer's drivers for the 3.0 kernel would make it a lot easier to hack up a working 3.1 kernel from Motorola/Asus source, even if Acer doesn't immediately release 3.1 source.
Thank you. Yeah...Let's stay positive -ve

I prefer an indifferent air of pessimism. That way, I'm never disappointed...
Seriously though, here's to hoping June will be a good month for the Iconia after all.

Can still use and tweak the 3.0 kernel source. Kernel does not go with Honeycomb version.
Hi guys !
Acer still didn't published their kernel code, really ?
People in the Transformer forum told me it uses a Wolfson WM8903 DAC, it means I could port Voodoo sound.
No way without source, of course.
Nice to see you here Mr Voodoo
12:44 AM 22/06/2011 Aussie time. No sight of update
Meanwhile... Samsung releases Galaxy Tab 10.1 kernel source
When acer releases 3.1 can you update to it if youre rooted ?
If it doesn't come out today, I'll chase it up again in that same support task.

no one can say for sure.. but it probably will update. I imagine this is going to be a full system update that will install regardless of what you have on it.
