Google to Hold Android Honeycomb Event Next Wednesday

Google will be holding a press event next Wednesday, February 2, at its Mountain View headquarters to show off Android Honeycomb, the company's tablet-optimized OS.

The invitation, which just landed in our inboxes, asks us to join the search giant "for an in-depth look at Honeycomb, Android ecosystem news and hands-on demos." The stage presentations will begin at 10:00 a.m. PT. Google is calling it the event "A Taste of What's New from Android."

Google is also sharing the Android love with the rest of world; the event will be live streamed at YouTube.com/Android.

Honeycomb, Android 3.0, is the first Google OS built specifically for the tablet form factor. It features a revamped interface, faster plane switching, deeper multimedia integration and a slew of redesigned Android applications. We've had the chance to play with Android Honeycomb during our Motorola Xoom demo, even sneaking in some time to play with some of its yet-to-be-announced features.

We'll be at Google's event next Wednesday to bring you all the Android news live. In the meantime, check out the demo video, and in the comments, let us know what you think this Android press event might reveal.
