Google on Tuesday announced its first major update to the Honeycomb OS. Key feature additions in Honeycomb 3.1 include resizable home screen widgets, added support for new input devices like enhanced keyboards, mice, trackpads and even dedicated gaming controllers. Another key addition is enhanced multitasking support for more fluid transitions and reduced crashes. In addition, Honeycomb will be coming to Google TV in version 3.1 via an automatic OTA update. Among the notable Google TV-specific features is the addition of Android Market support, which will allow third-party apps to be delivered to Google TV devices just like they are on smartphones and tablets.

    Great, so we’ll have to wait another year before it even begins to roll out for devices like the Thunderbolt 3.

      As far as I can tell, yes all current GTV devices will get the update. Logitech seems to be embracing the 3.1 update (they’ve said they’re going to be announcing several new products that take advantage of it on tablets), so I don’t see why at the very least the Revue wouldn’t get it.
