New features of the latest Android OS Honey Comb 3.1

  • Recent Apps list are more expandable — just scroll through and tap the app to bring it up
  • Home screen Widgets can be resized now – well, this one is sure to bring many smiles. Using the drag bars provided by the system, one can increase/decrease the size both ways.
  • Okay, this one is one great feature too — you can really attach your Bluetooth keyboard and mouse or other external devices, if you have any, to your android tablet running Android 3.1 
  • Well, the keyboard and mouse aren’t enough, esp. in the world of Joysticks and Gamepads. You have support for the latter devices too. That sounds great. Let’s wish it comes like a dream-come-true, shall we.
  • Your ol’ Wi-Fi is soon going to be one-solution-for-all tech with the Robust Wi-Fi networking Google has planned. The Wi-Fi lock would let apps keep on working even with the screen off and will be able to maintain there separate connection.
  • Now there updates and lots of updates to existing great apps:
    • Gallery: Connect a camera and your pics and vids would show up in Gallery directly
    • Calendar: It’s larger, better and more touch responsive
    • Contacts: Search has been extended fully to all the fields. it would be hard to miss a detail already fed in when searching
    • Email: It’s the best now. The Email app would even care a lot now about the formatting and promises to maintain the true spirit of the email’s format even with tablets.
  • Enterprise support also got some attention in the Android 3.1. Each Wi-Fi access point can now be configured an HTTP Proxy, meaning users and developers can develop host of features using this tool to suit their need of apps and processes. Plus, Encrypted Storage Card facility would strengthen the security parameter.
