Android has a delicious history of codenames for its release versions,
with each major release reading like a tasty children’s book:

C is for Cupcake (v1.5)
D is for Donut (v1.6)
E is for Éclair (v2.1)
F is for Froyo (v2.2)
G is for Gingerbread (v3.0)
H is for…

What is H going to stand for? Well, rumours are pointing to Honeycomb, that natural treat that makes bee hives so tasty to munch on.

Of course, even the features appearing in Gingerbread are still off in the distant lands of rumourville, so don’t expect any news on features for at least a month or two.

But hey, at least you can be happy in the knowledge that you know what dessert Android 3.x is best represented by, right?

As any good Android-obsessed geek should know by now, Google’s made a tradition out of alphabetically naming their firmware builds after sweets. Android 1.5 was “Cupcake”, v1.6 was “Donut”, v2.0 is “Eclair”, while the next release will be lovingly dubbed “Froyo”. “But what comes after that?!” you say from the edge of your seat.

According to Android kernel developer Brian Swetland, the next major build after “Froyo” will be known as “Gingerbread”. If nothing else, the good thing about that name: no matter what it contains, it’ll be a sweeter treat than the crap I was forced to decorate and eat as a child.

(Like the image? While I wish I could claim that little Android dude is just killer rendering on my part, I just ’shopped in one of the soon-to-be-released Android toys.)
