ELI5: why did android 3.0 honeycomb never gain much market share & popularity?
gpt
Honeycomb was developed for the tablet architecture only, but was quickly replaced by the follow up release for the general Android development Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.0, which was designed to specifically create a universal OS for android no matter which architecture standard was being followed.  What that means was Honeycomb was quickly abandoned due to the fact that it limited application support to only those apps which met the 3.0 requirements, where as a 4.0 app can run on a tablet or telephone, along with any app developed for the previous versions of android, this included those apps developed on 3.0 for tablets only, giving a much wider range of available apps to the android devices using it.
