Your Honeycomb Tablet Has a Gingerbread UI
Honeycomb on its own not enough for you?
Google plans to eventually have both Android tablets and smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich. However, until then, Google tablets are running the company’s tablet-optimized version of Android, Honeycomb, while phones are based on Gingerbread, aka Android 2.3.
However, those with tablet rocking Honeycomb needn’t feel left out of the Gingerbread fun. Pocketables reports modder Graffix0214 has discovered that bumping the pixel density (ppi) from 160 to higher than 170 will transform your rooted Honeycomb tablet into a Gingerbread tablet. You can use ‘LCDDensity for Root’ to tweak the dpi and toggle back and forth between Honeycomb and Gingerbread as much as you like.

Nothing is actually stopping honeycomb from running on a smartphone, it COULD run right now if you wanted it to.
Such a glowing endorsement for iOS users.
BUT, can it run flash? And most importantly, is it named after an awesome desert? No it isn't. Ice Cream Sandwiches are so much cooler.
Froyo - F
Gingerbread - G
Honeycomb - H
Ice cream Sandwich - I
This isn't fun.
And it would be worth something if you could do anything with it.
