Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb Preview

The Android Developers team has just posted a teaser video of the next version of Android, Honeycomb 3.0.
Touted as the version built entirely for the tablet, the next version will include:

Honeycomb is the next version of the Android platform, designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. We’ve spent a lot of time refining the user experience in Honeycomb, and we’ve developed a brand new, truly virtual and holographic user interface. Many of Android’s existing features will really shine on Honeycomb: refined multi-tasking, elegant notifications, access to over 100,000 apps on Android Market, home screen customization with a new 3D experience and redesigned widgets that are richer and more interactive. We’ve also made some powerful upgrades to the web browser, including tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, syncing with your Google Chrome bookmarks, and incognito mode for private browsing.
Honeycomb also features the latest Google Mobile innovations including Google Maps 5 with 3D interactions and offline reliability, access to over 3 million Google eBooks, and Google Talk, which now allows you to video and voice chat with any other Google Talk enabled device (PC, tablet, etc).
Sounds good to me :) and it will bring much demanded things like home screen customizations, web browsing enhancements and video chat in Google Talk.
But will Honeycomb come in a version tailored for mobile devices or will Gingerbread be the last version that mobile devices will be able to use? :(
