The Android rumor mills never do stop churning. Mere moments after the confirmation of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the showcasing of Android 3.0 (Honeycomb, a new fork of the OS for tablets), we’ve learned that Android 2.4 might be coming as soon as this summer.
The newest iteration of Google’s blockbuster mobile OS is supposedly called “Ice Cream,” according to Android’s flavorful and alphabetical naming convention.
The Ice Cream name has been floating around for a few months now; however, there’s been confusion as to the version number.
However, Pocket Lint reports that it saw a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc running the new OS on the CES show floor in Las Vegas last week. Although none of the blog’s sources would go on the record, the summer release date lines up nicely with what we already know and expect of Google’s Android timeline.
Android 2.2 (Froyo) was announced at Google I/O last May and slowly creeped onto devices through the summer. Gingerbread was confirmed last October and began rolling out in December.
So an I/O-timed announcement in May 2011 followed by a summer rollout is completely within our range of expectations for a Google Android OS.
We’ve been excited about Android’s progress in the past year, and we can’t wait for Google to release official details on what the next iterations will bring to this mobile OS. Please give us your speculations in the comments.
