Android Honeycomb (3.0) might be designed for tablets this didn’t prevent some developers to port the new OS to existing phones including the HTC EVO 4G, the HTC Desire HD and the HTC Droid Incredible. While it is not usable as your main OS yet, it is nice to see developers might give us an early release of Honeycomb to play with.
