Were you at the conference? I read that attendees were given Samsung 10″ tablets. Wish I’d been there.[/quote]
They gave out the 10.1 Galaxy S Tablets. It’s pretty thin and lightweight…

Zoom is still the development platform of choice though, because they just announced USB host support for Honeycomb 3.1 and future Ice Cream…And the Xoom can do this…
ADK hardware development kits (Open accessories development kit) at the breakout session to allow app writers to interface to external devices.
Supposedly, tomorrow they are also handing out a wifi/sim data terminal for the galaxy tab with 3 months verizon data service included…. And there is suspicion of another freebie device (some think it’s another tablet, some think it might be a nexus s 4g, since they are heavily pushing for developers to develop NFC apps and so far only the nexus s can do that.) Last year they gave away two phones to each person (droid or nexus one before the conference and a Sprint Evo at the conference)
FWIW: the cost of the conference ends up being < the cost of the devices you get...But really only applicable for folks trying to develop stuff on this platform, since who really needs more than one phone or tablet?
One thing is very clear...Google is going on full assault on apple. Devices aside, they also just announced movie rentals from android marketplace, cloud based music service (allows you to upload music to the cloud and play to any android device or pc), and Android marketplace will be coming to Google TV...
One of the guys on our android team is at the developer conference. Next year I may just have to go in order to get some schwag. The ticket is a business write off for me anyways.
