Those who watched Yesterday’s Google Honeycomb preview event, which saw the launch of Android Market webstore, were left disappointed as the search engine giants didn’t talk about bringing Android 3.0 to smartphones. A Google’s spokesperson who was at the event shared a piece of information which the Android phone enthusiasts didn’t want to hear – Android 3.0 is a tablet specific OS.

Google’s spokesperson Andrew Kovacs did share some good news – Honeycomb features will be making its way to smartphones with the passage of time:

When asked if Android 3.0 would also appear on phones, spokesman Andrew Kovacs said no. “Features will arrive on phones over time,” he said.

The whole topic of Honeycomb for smartphones has been one confusing one and Google is solely responsible for this. Matias Duarte, who heads the Google’s user experience team revealed in an exclusive interview with Engadget that Honeycomb will land on smartphones.  Dave Burke, Director of Engineering of Android at Google joined the bandwagon but with the bad news of Android 3.0 being a Tablet only operating system.

What’s your take on this increasingly confusing situation? Should Google come clean and clear the confusion once and for all?
