Google's Gingerbread Man Has Arrived

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-my-gumdrop-buttons dept.

Daetrin writes "Last weekend Google received the next statue in the sweets-themed series that commemorates the major updates of the Android OS. In the past this has meant that the release of the next SDK was right around the corner. However this time there's some doubt as to what the version number will actually be. Many sites (including Slashdot) have assumed that 'Gingerbread' was synonymous with '3.0,' but now there's some evidence that everyone may have jumped the gun and the next version will actually be 2.3."

    I may be missing something, but what does it matter if it's 3.0, 2.3, named strawberry pie, or whatever? How does this impact our quality of life?

    It's good to see cheaper android phones coming out soon.

    I am still waiting to upgrade from my g1 to the g2, if they can ever perma-root that thing!
