Google's Android 3.0 OS, codenamed Honeycomb, may never come to the smartphone market.
Since tablets have been announced using the new operating system rumours have been abound that a potted-down version will be coming to smartphones.
But when asked by TechRadar if the new OS would be coming to mobiles in the future, a Google spokesperson said: "We took the opportunity with Android 3.0 to enhance the UI.
"Right now it's a tablet operating system."
However, the spokesperson also said that in the future Google would like to unite the numbers systems [to stop Android 2.x being for smartphones and Android 3.x for tablets].
Unified future
"I think that coming together is a good idea. What we're trying to do here I make a base platform that's so good, that others only need to add native elements in their core areas.
"We wanted to make the whole UI better - it shouldn't be necessary to customise the texting widget with the Honeycomb UI.
"We don't think one size fits all with Android, but sometimes changes [people make to the UI] miss the point - then again, sometimes it amazes us."
