The 5 Honeycomb Features Currently Missing In Action

I'm currently wrapping up a review of the latest Honeycomb tablet, the Toshiba Thrive. Quick spoiler, it's one of my favorite Android tablets yet, but I still wouldn't buy it nor recommend it to anyone outside the dedicated Android fanbase. Just like the rest of the Honeycomb tablets, it lacks any compelling feature over the iPad.

Don't mistake what I'm saying here. I like the Thrive. It's well built, has a low price, and more I/O ports than other tabs. I also like Android as a whole -- I love my Droid X -- but outside of several Google services which are available on the iPad, Honeycomb tabs still don't have a legitimate advantage over the similarly priced iPad. That said, not all is lost. Google is committed to the platform, as are the dozens of CE brands with Android tablets. The addition of just the following five features would help move Honeycomb tablets closer to mainstream.
