A. Gingerbread is a smartphone OS, designed for smartphone, there are tablets like galaxy which have gingerbread but those are like smartphones OS with bigger screen.
Where as Honeycomb is designed for Tablets with multiple views and some good changes in native apps wich makes it ideal for Tablets
Few months down the line there will be icecream sandwitch Android OS, which will be a merger or gingerbread and honeycomb

Can an android tablet be booted from a usb port?
Q. I was wondering if I can run one of those light weight linux distro installed on a usb flash drive on one of those android tablets.
1) Is there a cheap tablet PC (under $200) that can be booted from a usb port?
3) Can I find a lightweight linux distro that has all the drivers for that tablet?
Thanks for replying.

A. First of all, Android is Linux. It's a custom Linux kernel with a special software layer on top. And the customizations to the kernel and the software layer sitting on top of it are pretty important for it to run on the rather specialized smartphone architecture.
Second, a kernel has to be compiled to run on a certain architecture. So you'd have to find a version of Linux compiled for an ARM processor. That's not much of a problem. Several distributions, including Ubuntu, have ARM kernels. But then you'd have to have kernel modules for the drivers of the smartphone hardware, which... isn't nearly as likely. And you'd probably need a specially-designed interface, since Gnome or KDE really wouldn't work on a 4-inch touchscreen. And all of that would also have to be specially compiled for the kernel. And that's before we start with the application software. And by the time you got all of that working... you'd essentially have Android.
And even if you could do all of that, you'd have to have some way of booting from the USB, which you can't since smartphone firmware boots the kernel directly, without any sort of bootloader like you have on a personal computer.
If you want Android to be more Linux-y -- whatever that means, since the Linux experience differs greatly based on the graphical interface (assuming you use one) -- you can install a terminal emulator and even the bash shell. If you play around with it a bit, you might be able to install some command-line Linux software. But even then, it wouldn't be terribly useful, given the limited ability to enter text on a smartphone.

How do I run iPad apps on Android?
Q. I have to purchase a iPad for my grad program and do not want to because I already have a fully functional Android tablet. They have a special application that was designed to run on Apple OS. Is there any way to get this to run on Android?
A. Nope. iOS apps only run on Apple's iOS-based devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch). They won't run on Android devices.
