Even before the 2.3.3 SDK update, the Build.VERSION.SDK_INT on the 3.0 emulator said 10. So I assumed that SDK 10 was honeycomb preview and that the final release of honeycomb would be SDK 11.
But after updating, the SDK now says 2.3.3 is SDK 10, emulator (3.0) also says 10. I don't think Google has entirely sorted this out yet.
