Android’s next versions – GingerBread, Honeycomb and Ice Cream


Google has many plans ahead, which users already find out, either through their press release or some leaks. But still, we could find out the names of their next Android operating system versions, that could possibly be the name of their version 3 generations later. And these can be called the weirdest names!?

  • 1.5 version was called Cupcake.
  • 1.6 version was called Donut.
  • 2.0+ version was called Eclair
  • 2.2 version is called Froyo, the one which is being released globally in most of the devices.

And the later versions are going to get the following names -
3.0 version – Gingerbread
3.5 version – Honeycomb

And now the news have arrived, that Google has named the very next versions’ name – Ice Cream, which is possibly the name of the 4.0 version. There is no news on the dates of the release of the 3.0 version and the later ones, but the names have already come in. If they take it every 6 months for a new version to be launched, Ice cream won’t come in before the mid-2011.

    There was a change happened here. The 2.3 version is now called the Gingerbread and the 3.0 is the Honeycomb and the 3.0 is made to exclusively work with the tablet devices.
    No news about the Icecream version yet.

    So can anyone tell me when the OTA update to 2.3 Gingerbread will be available in the UK? Or in what decade Tablet owners can expect to get the OTA update to 3.0 Honeycomb?

    Google is never going to convince consumers to move away from Apple or for Corporate users to choose android devices over say BlackBerry or Apple as the seem to be completely inept and incompetent. This is not helped in anyway by the handset manufacturers or the various carriers currently trundling out ever changing android devices while never seeming to get one handset that is capable of delivering the elusive benefits of android over Apple or BlackBerry.

    As an android user with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet (7″) and an HTC Desire HD and an advocate of the Android OS, I have been so disappointed with the support of Google and the handset manufacturers that I will (come renewal time) be very happily but still somewhat downheartedly goodbye to Android and becoming a (reluctant) member of the Apple or possibly the BlackBerry family. There is something to be said for OS and handsets to be inextricably linked which is ultimately beneficial for end users be they individual consumers or corporate users.

    Google with each new OS Version and multi manufacturer supplied handsets are the undertakers nailing the nails into their own coffins.

    RIP Android :-(
