Default Ice Cream = Google TV + Honeycomb + Gingerbread

When Android 3.0 was designed and launched specifically for tablets, the ugly voice of fragmentation screamed out from dissenters. We had a phone OS on Android 2.3/2.4 called Gingerbread, a tablet OS on Android 3.0 called Honeycomb, and a lot of confusion amongst the community.

So tired of hearing about fragmentation. It exists in the PC world, and it isn't a problem.

And websites need to run on not just different versions of Windows, but also Linux and AppleOS.

I have a Logitech Revue with Google TV integrated with my DISH Network DVR and love what it has done for my DVR theme searches. I think that creating a code that could be used on both Android phones and Google TV would create some viewing advantages and I'm hoping would enhance my already sweet entertainment setup. I work in the advance tech support department for DISH and I believe that streamlining everything would also create more opportunity to generate more apps and spawn the next generation of great technology.
