This is my next is reporting that the next version of Android after Ice Cream Sandwich will be called Jelly Bean. It’s supposed to pack “game-changing stuff” that was originally supposed to be on Ice Cream Sandwich but didn’t quite make it in time.
Of course, we’re still impatiently waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich so looking even past that is kinda crazy at this point but at least we know the name! I’d have much rather seen Jell-O (probably nixed for copyright issues since they have enough of that) or just jelly (jelly sounds incredibly funny by itself) though.
And if you want to take a look back into history at how far Android has come, these have been the updates to Android so far: Cupcake, doughnut, Eclair, Gingerbread, Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich. [TIMN]

Why is Doughnut the only Android foodstuff version-moniker for which you did not capitalise the initial letter?
This is outrageous!!! Such blatant and unjustified prejudice I have not seen before. Now, if it had been celery…..that would have been different..’that’ would have been quite understandable.
