Poll: Honeycomb - Better to Fork or Merge? - ReadWriteWeb

At this week's press event at Google headquarters, Google Director of Products for Mobile Hugo Barra told journalists that the newest version of the Android mobile operating system, version 3.0, also known as "Honeycomb" is designed for tablets, and just tablets. At least, for now. He said the company is considering what features should make their way over from Honeycomb to the smartphone OS, Android 2.3 aka "Gingerbread."

"We will take some of the innovations from Honeycomb and think about how they apply to phones," he said. But later, company spokesman Andrew Kovacs commented to PCMag.com via email that "all of the UI changes are the future of Android" (emphasis ours).

We're a little confused, and it seems like Google might be too.But from what it sounds like, Honeycomb will sort of merge with Gingerbread, and not fork into a separate OS, as had been expected. Is that the right way for Google to go? Tell us what you think in this week's ReadWriteMobile poll.
