Asus has confirmed that three of its upcoming tablets will run the next version of the Google mobile operating system, Android 3.0. aka Honeycomb.

The Eee Pad tablet will run

Honeycomb and start shipping this summer, Asus spokesman Gary Key told Wired in an e-mail message.

That contradicts a report in The Inquirer, in which Asus marketing specialist John Swatton said Asus Android tablets would not launch until the fall.

Information around hardware requirements and technical specifications for running Honeycomb has been murky at best. Korean consumer-electronics firm Enspert originally speculated that Honeycomb would require a dual-core processor in order to run. But according to a Twitter status update sent by Android Open Source lead Dan Morrill, there’s no “hard minimum processor requirement” to run version 3.0.

By way of comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is running Android version 2.2 Froyo, and will be upgradable when Honeycomb is officially released. Motorola’s Xoom tablet will launch with Honeycomb in the spring. It hasn’t been said if that’s the case for the Eee Pad series or not.
