大家有留意本站 Facebook 專頁,應知道一些 Android 3.0 未經證實的消息。筆者之前在機緣巧合之下,認識到台灣某間大廠的開發部主管,閒聊一些事情時,從中得知 Android 3.0 的發佈時間、對平板電腦支援、以及硬件要求的消息。
Google 預計最快於今年 10 月底或 11 月正式發佈 Android 3.0,雖然支援的解像度會更高,但 Google 目前只計劃與 Android 2.2 同樣限制於 7 吋或以下平板電腦使用,意味著 10 吋平板電腦,未來亦不會得到 Google 官方直接的支援。
另外,最驚人的事,Android 3.0 要求最低規格不是之前流傳的 1GHz CPU,而是將會大幅調高至雙核 CPU,即使現時市面上所有 Android 高階機均不能符合要求,就連 Google 親生仔 Nexus One 已經到達終點了。
由於以上消息,筆者沒有證據可以証明來源,所以數日前不方便在網站公佈。不過今天國外傳媒報導的消息和我們所知可說是不謀而合,Motorola 將於明年初推出的 NVIDIA Tegra 2 手機,也是首部手機原生支援 Android 3.0,規格使用 NVIDIA Tegra2 250 雙核 1GHz ARM A9 處理器、4.78 吋 AMOLED 多點觸控螢幕、800 萬像素相機鏡頭連雙 LED 閃光燈,並且支援拍攝 30 fps 720 高清影片,絕對符合 Android 3.0 最低規格要求,難道此機將會是下部 Google 親生仔或者 Android Developer 專用機?
另一方面,大家若留意 Android 平板電腦的動向,就會發現不少廠商已經放棄 1GHz CPU,反而採用未普及的 NVIDIA Tegra2 雙核平台。除了考慮到效能方面要超越 Apple iPad 外,莫非這些廠商已經一早收到有關雙核 CPU 為最低規格要求的消息,似乎是為 Android 3.0 的升級作好準備?若此消息最後得到証實,未知您手中的手機不能升級 Android 3.0,會不會感到到非常失望呢?

Gingerbread is not Android 3.0 – Saved for Honeycomb?
Noah from Phonedog just posted an interesting article concerning the next two upcoming Android versions. As it turns out, Gingerbread may not be the official Android 3.0, but 2.3 or 2.5, and that Honeycomb may hold the 3.0 crown. Honeycomb is also said to be the first Android release that would truly be optimized for tablets. So, where does that leave Gingerbread?

Exclusive Q&A: Google's Andy Rubin Talks Android
Android 3.0, "Gingerbread"
What are some of the themes and ideas that are going into the next version of Android?
More forms of communication. I think social media is a form of communication. I think you would just talk about general improvements to the platform and make it faster and more robust. I think gaming is an area that I think is underserved right now. We're actually going through a reinvention of casual gaming. If you look at a console game like an XBOX or a PlayStation or a Nintendo, I think it's very, "sit down and try to get to the maximum level possible." On cell phones and devices that are battery operated, I think there's more kind of "what do you do in between the times when you're doing something?" It's more about running a game to fill time rather than running a game to be a dedicated event.
If we were to carefully look at what new features and functionalities in the platform that we would need to support all forms of gaming across the entire spectrum, I think that would probably be an interesting thing to pay attention to. I think that more blending of the Web and native is probably interesting. If you look at things like HTML5 support, more features, more functionality, our browser right now is probably one of the best performing browsers on a mobile phone. It's the fastest, it's the smallest. We'll be adding more functionality to the browser to give it an updated user experience as well.
