Google's next desert theme smartphone OS has been documented on video on the net. Posted in the androiddeveloper's channel on YouTube, the shakey-cam video entitled "We've been baking something" begins with a shot of a Google street sign before arriving in the car park at Google HQ.

Android 3.0 rumored hardware requirements: 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 3.5 inch or higher displays with the 1280 x 760 pixel resolution available (for 4 inch and higher displays).Android 3.0/Gingerbread/Honeycomb is rumored to be more tablet friendly.

The latter specification makes us think of Android 3.0 tablets, that sound like a good idea. The UI will also be revamped, with a new feel, animated transitions and all of that natively, via the UI. Also, Android’s split into two branches will happen, with 3.0 being used on high end devices and the 2.1/2.2 versions remaining on cheap mass market handsets.
