Safe to say honeycomb for us?

I think so. Phone released with 2.2, honeycomb coming VERY soon and the added bonus of HTC supporting phones very well I think its only a matter of time. Whats your take on the subject?

Personally, I think we might get 2.3 and that's definitely it. Was 2.3 formally "promised" for the Shift?

Mfrs and carriers have *zero* incentive to provide updates to phones because that cuts into sales of new devices and plan extensions. The only exceptions to this in my mind are phones for which an update is promised (looking at the Galaxy S owners on 2.1).

But I'm a skeptic by nature.

Umm, honeycomb is only for tablets. Even if there is a ported Rom, I think there are many things that would require a larger screen, like the notifications.

Tekgoblin ran a story on Google confirming that Honeycomb will not be ported to smartphones... /. carried it, also I think there is a dual-core requirement for honeycomb as well...

Yea, everyone that voted "yes" to this should really read the articles of the site they are on.

Meh 2.3 offers very little. Honeycomb on the other hand offers so much!

Sure honeycomb has some features geared more towards tablets like the buttons, but still going to head for smartphones as well. They was to try and lessen fragmentation, and making a fragmentation in their OS is counter productive. But then again I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt come out for smartphones.
