    At this point, it’s pretty much tradition: Google releases a new major build of Android to the public, and a statue themed around that build’s codename (like Froyo, or Donut, or Gingerbread) goes up in its honor at the Android Team’s building (Building 44) across from the Google Campus.

    The first official Honeycomb (Android 3.0) device, the Motorola Xoom, just hit the shelves last week — and sure enough, the Honeycomb statue just went up. Android Developer Advocate Justin Mattson tweeted out the shot above to celebrate. Rockin’ both the Android robot and a big ol’ nasty lookin’ honeybee, this statue is quite possibly the coolest one yet. Check behind the jump for a shot of all of the other statues kickin’ it.
