Android 3.0 making surprise appearances #mobile
Well, only a handful of Android smartphones are running 2.2 and now we hear that gingerbread is currently being tested in Mountain View.
My understanding is that gingerbread will be the OS for your superphones and tablets. So I am wondering what hardware is being used by the Mountain Views engineers or Greene Computing developers?
GreeneComputing, developers of the LINPACK benchmarking software for Android, were running some analytics on their app usage logs and uncovered a few little gems: in between all the Android 2.2 users (which made up 43.1%) and Android 2.1 users (which made up 39.8%), a few users appeared to be running something special: Android 3.0. Oh, and Android 3.0.1, and 3.2, for that matter.
Before you get too excited: 3.0.1 and 3.2 are likely near identical copies of 3.0 at this point, just separated out onto individual branches for the sake of developing them in parallel. Still, that means Google’s got at least one minor and one small-but-still-pretty-notable update on the drawing board already — and we can’t wait for either, much less the big 3.0 itself.
