No, they aren't releasing Honeycomb. The reasoning was that they don't want people putting hacky versions of Honeycomb onto phones when it simply isn't designed for smaller screen sizes. Hence, the main aim of Ice Cream Sandwich is to create a version of Android that works well on both. The best of both worlds, basically.
Yes, they will definitely open-source ICS. That's what was said at IO. A new flagship device (the third Nexus device) will launch concurrently, most likely. Latest rumors have that happening in Oct/Nov, but we'll see. Business wise they don't want to miss the Xmas period so it's likely.

Android 3.1 has the USB-hosting and has already been rolled out to the XOOM and the Asus Transformer. However, the XOOM doesn't have a regular size USB port so would require an adaptor and the Transformer has I think multiple USB ports but they are located in the keyboard dock.
The new Galaxy Tab has a USB similar to the Camera Kit connector you can get for the iPad - a little thing that you plug into the main charging port that has a USB port on the other side. And I believe this tablet launched with 3.1 already.

I sold my i5700 and I'm looking for something new.
I had Samdroid 2.1 but that's because I was using a different phone for the last few months until I sold my i5700. Samdroid was much better than a stock rom, especially customizations but also performance. I undervolted my cpu but remained on the same CPU speed (800mhz).

I've been using Google Music since before most Americans even. My cousin on the Android team invited me within minutes of them announcing it at I/O 
Are you not able to sign up from http://music.google.com ? If not, then yeah, you could get someone in the US to try.
Also, the version of the Android Music app that has Google Music enabled, may not yet be in the UK Android Market. If you google for an app called MarketEnabler, then provided you have root, you can spoof the location and carrier using that app, so that you can load different regional versions of the Market. So if you use that and set it to spoof a US carrier, the app will show up. That's what I had to do on the first day.
I have over 10k songs in my Google Music account now

thanks. is there are way to send myself an invite, i.e. via a proxy?
otherwise I may have to tell my friend to do it, providing she has enough time while she's in america.
So I just won a second hand Samsung Galaxy i5700 Portal/Spica for £55 on eBay (£5 delivery). Good condition. Want to root it and install Samdroid 2.2, and then give it to my Dad. - That way, he'll have an upgraded phone, bigger screen, better camera and Sat Nav.
I just hope he gets to grips with the touch screen. Hopefully, because he's been using Google Maps from my Mum's HTC Wildfire.
Summary: Whole family to be on Android now

Yeah I had a Kernel with undervolt included.
Right now.. I have Samsung Wave. It comes with Bada platform out of the box but they're working on an Android port which I'm going to install as soon as it's usable.
However this phone is really great hardware-wise, that's why I decided to keep it. Galaxy S internals but with a smaller (3,3 inch) super amoled screen which makes it more pocket-friendly and comes with a led flash for camera. Also a solid, aluminum body and a camera button. And the price was very good. Ticks almost all of my boxes and I'm really happy with it.
Actually the Bada platform is very cool, fast and stable too and the phone had a lot of Android-like features out of the box. Actually a lot of features were rip-offs from Android apps. But the thing that I miss the most is Android market - there are way less apps for bada and most are paid since there are no adds in apps.
But I'll be looking for a good, new Android phone nevertheless

i see nexus s' position as a bridge between the previous and the next generation since it added FFC and NFC. It was rumoured to be a dual-core phone at first, but remained a single core device. its successor of course will have a dual cpu so that'll be the next step up..
the nexus s was particularly nice because from stock it was pretty much a galaxy s with no touchwiz.

I kinda really want a SGS2 lol. I may buy one and try it out for a week. If I don't like it, I'll sell it. If I do, I'll sell my G2 and then I won't be out for the whole cost of the phone. But I really fucking wish there was a QWERTY slider with the guts and screen of the SGS2.
Why won't some fucker make one already!!!!
