Google are always in a hurry to push out new versions of all their products – anyone who uses the search giant’s Chrome browser can attest to how quickly new features appear. Unlike most Google products, Android has gone without a significant update for around six months now – but that hasn’t stopped Google teasing us in the menatime.

We first spied version 3.0 (Honeycomb) when Andy Rubin flashed a Motorola tablet sporting the then-unseen version at D: Dive Into Mobile, and now to crank the Android hype machine just that little bit higher, Google have released an official video showing off what we can expect when Honeycomb hits.

The video, embedded below, details how Honeycomb is built specifically for tablets (don’t expect to see this version of your handset), and breaks away from traditional Android design language by introducing fancy things like concave 3D interfaces, and a new, chunky keyboard for that terrible tablet typing iPad users have come to know so well.

Elsewhere at CES, Tweakers.net has uncovered a Sony Ericsson Arc (one of the new handsets announced at the show) running the not-yet-seen version 2.4. This version is said to be an incremental update from 2.3, adding in peripheral features like deletion animations and more visible video calling options.

Of course, all this Android goodness is scant consolation for those of us still (still!) waiting for version 2.3 to hit our Nexus Ones, which, if you take Google’s word for it, should be any day now.
