Google has revealed that Android’s next iterations will be called Gingerbread (3.0) and Honeycomb (3.5), but according to new reports the Android 4.0 will be called Ice Cream. The list of Android releases should be expanded next year with two new versions, including Android Honeycomb and Ice Cream. Gingerbread will arrive later this year as Android 3.0.Google has a special pattern for naming each Android. company names each release after a dessert, in alphabetical order. This began in May 2009 with the development of the 1.5 version of Android, which Google dubbed Cupcake. Donut (Android 1.6) followed in Sept. 2009 and Éclair (Android 2.0) in Oct. 2009. The current version of Android (Android 2.2) is called Froyo, short for frozen yogurt. It was unveiled in May at Google’s annual developer conference.
Android’s next releases will be called Gingerbread (3.0) and Honeycomb (3.5), but has kept the following name–which, according to the company’s pattern, will start with “I”– secret, and they are expected to be followed by Ice Cream sometime in mid or second half of the next year. According to Forbes, the new name has been already confirmed. ARM President Tudor Brown is the one who confirmed that Android 4.0 would be called Ice Cream, and there are little chances that he would be mistaken, especially since the company's processors are being used in over 95 of all mobile phones out there and over one-quarter of all electronic devices.
Google is salient on the Android 4.0 release, which would be called Ice Cream. Coz this is one of the few desserts that starts with the letter 'I', and fits Google's roadmap. The company might not announce something on Ice Cream until next year, especially since it already has two platform versions on their way to the market, but there are great chances that the name is the correct one.
Samsung also unveiled the existence of Honeycomb before the announcement by Google, and in this case we also hope that ARM's President Tudor Brown should be correct.
