hopefully it wont have as many bugs as 2.3 seems to be having. It feels like 2.3 was pushed out to get the Nexus S out, and it will be quickly replaced by 2.4 coming in May.

Why are you all discussing a piece of news from January as though it's just been announced. Google IO has since confirmed that the next version of Android will be Ice Cream Sandwich and will run on all devices and behave accordingly to form factor.

[General Topics] kancil168:
really cant wait for this
[General Topics] anmtrn:
It makes no sense for Ice Cream to 2.4 being that Ice Cream is suppose to unify both tablet and phone systems together, like iOS4.0 did for iPhone and iPad. Also if Honeycomb is 3.0/.1 why would Google go and make the newest release a version lower than the newest version a.k.a 3.1 it makes more sense it will be 4.0 for Ice Cream and pocket-lint doesn't seem like a site that would get exclusive leaks and info like that, if info like that was received, other sites like Phandroid, Android Central, Gizmodo, and XDA-Developers would have posted the story way before pocket-lint. Also a launch this summer seems a bit too early, maybe for the nexus line phones yes, but for other phones its very unlikely seeing as the only phones right now that have the newest Gingerbread 2.3.4 is the Nexus line again, also we all know the slowness the carriers and the manufacturers are at updating the software on our phones, as i can tell you with the Droid X2 being released with Froyo when GIngerbread has been out for quite awhile. Sad Really.

[General Topics] USSENTERNCC1701E:
3.0 is rumored to have no soft key functionality, using gesture controls instead. So it would really only be practical for large screen phones, and I think many people would be a little peeved about losing use of those buttons for a phone that already has them.

The only reason that we would need this is if we had dual-core phones like the Atrix. So any new phone coming out with a dual-core chipset is garunteed to go Gingerbread.

[General Topics] snowboard:
i think 2.3 is more user friendly than 2.4
[General Topics] SupremeBeaver:
2.3 and 2.4 are both Gingerbread. There are no differences between the user interface. However 3.0 is Honeycomb which has the new UI made specifically for tablets. We're not going to see that interface on our phones, but with Ice Cream, we're going to see a combination of Gingerbread and Honeycomb to make the perfect phone (not tablet) interface. What im curious is how Google will number it. 3.1? 2.5? or even 4.0? Things are getting a bit messy.
[General Topics] glxtab:
good.... :-)))
[General Topics] Dirk:
HTC are updating a few of their devices, like the original Desire, to Gingerbread. This is a great move by HTC but i'm sure the carriers will delay the push to get it on peoples phones.

As always everyone will be relying on the XDA chefs to take those updates and work their magic on them.

As i've said already it's too early to say for sure. The story was that 2.4 is GB but that all changed when the unexpected 2.3.3 was released instead. Then all the updated articles online stated 2.4 is now Ice-Cream. Make of it what you will but right now nobody besides Google knows for sure.

Build letter

This seems to be a rumor to me. To start Honeycomb just came out. Secondly why jump build letters, shouldn't the phone OS receive Honeycomb before Ice creme? That also point to the fact that Android would be Even more fragmented. If that were the case why not call the tablet OS a different name? Plus there no proof from pocket-lint

[General Topics] tillerr:
While I do agree I think it seems faster than it really is when you buy a new phone (one that has only been around for 3-6 months) and a few months later another phone is running one or two versions higher. But sometimes the phone you get doesn't get the update for another 8 months or more.

Android Burning out there code name?

Xda Members,

I don't know guys but, it seems that google is going to be following in the footsteps of Activision / Treyarch. Are they trying to burn out the Android code names? Plus Android is like less than 3 years old... and already with multiple releases.

Version / Code Name

1.5 / CupCake

1.6 / Donut

2.1 / Eclair

2.2 / Froyo

2.3 / GingerBread

2.3.3 / GingerBread

http://gizmodo.com/#!5787565/google-finally-fights-back-against-android-fragmentation

And as for talk of people wanting Honeycomb 3.0 on their phones and such.... let's just say it seems like Google isn't even going to let that happen.

[General Topics] riahc3:
Yup, this is hoping they do the balence correctly between GPU and CPU if not it'll be a battery killer.

BTW, alot of people are saying this is Gingerbread + Honeycomb together. In a sense its sorta true: Phones will get dual core support and (although Im not sure if this is a good thing) high resolution support. But there we be some new features (phone wise) also.

There was a small rumor about (FINALLY) offline Google Maps but I dont see it coming true though.

Well if a phone has announced its running the OS I assume its in existence to say the least. Also as far as why its 2.4 not 3. or 4. is as stated in the 3.0 OS is homed by the tablets. The 2.4 is merely an update to keep systems running on the same page no matter device hardware. Just my thoughts anyway.
