Google had announced the Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet only operating system at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011. In less than a month, the Honeycomb was ported on Barnes & Nobles' Nook Color ebook reader by XDA Developer Forum member - Honeynook.

This clearly shows how flexible Android 3.0 Honeycomb is when it is to be installed on tablet level hardware. Check the video of Nook Color with Graphics Acceleration below:
In the coming months, we'll get to see more Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets and even ports just like these, as the Honeycomb is meant for tablets. The fun has just begun.
