However Google has already shared some information on their next version of Android which should come with version 3.0 and be codenamed Gingerbread.
- It will be released mid-October 2010. Just in time Black Friday and the holiday season rush.
MinimumRecommended Hardware requirements: 1Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, 3.5" displays and higher. As of now, the majority of handsets do not fall whithin the minimum, allowing the new OS to focus on bigger systems, namely tablets.- 1280x760 resolution available for screens 4" or bigger.
- Overhauled user interface. UnwiredView.com compares it to the Gallery App on Android 2.2, just throughout the whole UI.
- Less reliance on third-party UI shells like HTC's Sense or Motorola's MotoBlur.
There is also the questions Google's Chrome OS' role in the devices of the future. Will tablets and net-books play separate roles and require such diverse OS' to run. We will have to wait in the months to come with Android 3.0 set to come before the end of this year.
[UPDATE] Looks like the rumors on the upcoming Android version have been a little misleading. Some clarifications have been made, and it looks like Android may be a possibility for some of the current devices. In any case we know the Nexus One will be the first in line if Android is made available to it.
