We’ve seen some pretty interesting names when it comes to versions of the Android operating system, and here we have a similarly interesting name pertaining to the next version of the Android OS, Android 2.4. We already know about Gingerbread or Android 2.3 and we also know about the tablet-optimized version of this OS, called Honeycomb or Android 3.0. Regarding Android 2.4, word is that this particular version will be dubbed as “Ice Cream”, reports Mashable.
This new iteration of Google’s signature mobile OS is apparently called “Ice Cream” according to Android’s flavorful and alphabetical naming convention. There was a confusion regarding the version number, however the name Ice Cream has been around for quite some time.On the other hand, Pocket Lint reports that it has seen a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc running the new OS on the CES show floor in Las Vegas last week,
Last year in May, Android 2.2 a.k.a Froyo was revealed at Google I/O and later on went to spread across devices through summer. In October last year, Google confirmed Gingerbread and it was rolled out in December. So considering previous trends, an I/O-timed announcement in May 2011 followed by a summer rollout can completely be expected from Google.
No doubt, the Android platform has gained a respectable market share in an amazingly short span of time, which definitely means that official details from the company regarding the next version of this brilliant OS are anxiously awaited.
