Google plans to eventually have both Android tablets and smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich. However, until then, Google tablets are running the company's tablet-optimized version of Android, Honeycomb, while phones are based on Gingerbread, aka Android 2.3.

However, those with tablet rocking Honeycomb needn't feel left out of the Gingerbread fun. Pocketables reports modder Graffix0214 has discovered that bumping the pixel density (ppi) from 160 to higher than 170 will transform your rooted Honeycomb tablet into a Gingerbread tablet. You can use ‘LCDDensity for Root' to tweak the dpi and toggle back and forth between Honeycomb and Gingerbread as much as you like.

Your Honeycomb Tablet Has a Gingerbread UI

I thought this was interesting. All of a sudden, the 7" Android tablets have quite a lot more value in my eye...
 
edit: double posted. Delete this one :tongue:
edit 2: I also messed up the title... Man I'm out of it tonight :tongue: should be "Honeycomb tablets also have Gingerbread UI on them"
