Another rumor bites the dust…Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb may be aimed at Tablets first but it definitely doesn’t have any minimum processor requirements according to Google. So there’s a change that the Galaxy Tab will probably be able to get an upgrade once the OS finally hits the streets in a couple of weeks / months. The Dual-Core Cortex A9 minimum specs rumor definitely sounded ridiculous given that Qualcomm isn’t going to ship it’s first A9 SoC before 2012.
