Two unsubstantiated tweets (tweet 1, tweet 2) from Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin suggest that Google has decided to delay the launch of its latest version of Honeycomb in “most countries.” The decision will affect the launch of a number of tablets, including the European launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1. An August launch appears to be in the cards now for Samsung.
It’s unclear what triggered this late decision (assuming it it accurate). Motorola has already begun to push out Android 3.1 to some XOOM users. In North America, Samsung and ASUS have also already announced plans to start shipping Android 3.1 tablets and pushing out Android 3.1 updates in the next few weeks. It remains to be seen if those plans will have to be delayed as well.
