maybe whatever sprint is planning on releasing this june will have ice cream..what do you guys think
We don't even have froyo never mind gingerbread. Honeycomb is next and that's 3.0 and they haven't even started working on that and your worried about ice cream being 2.4. Ice cream would be 3.x since google goes in alphabetical order

Honeycomb is all but done my friend. It's been seen running on tablets already and rumor has it we may even see a Honeycomb tablet next month.
Here's Google's leaked demo of Honeycomb. I'm pretty sure that's not all CG'ed.
EDIT- I can't help but notice that FroYo was released last Summer, Gingerbread released during the holidays, Honeycomb will be showing up in late winter / early spring, and Ice Cream again in the summer. Interesting!

My guess is that they renamed gingerbread to "ice cream" for the phones instead of calling it gingerbread also

I didn't realize honeycomb was done already. From what I see is honeycomb will be tablet only. My question is if the tablets get 3.0 and smart phones get 2.3 what's going to happen after 2.9?
I never realized there update schedual to you pointed it out.

The OS version dubbed honeycomb may be tablet only, nothing about that means that phones won't see past 3.0
Unified versions. Phone OS and tablet OS will eventually merge into a single OS.

Yeah, all signs point to Honeycomb being tablet-only. It looks like they will go to 2.4 for Ice Cream and at some point they will merge the two as muyoso mentioned.
I'll bet Google put a different team on Honeycomb then they did on Gingerbread; I'm sure they collaborated but since Honeycomb is going to split off as the Tablet branch of the Android tree, they've probably got a separate team working on all the Tablet features like sorting out app / resolution conflicts and tablet UI enhancements. Anyhow this would explain the relatively short time between launches.
From my understanding Google wants the Chrome OS on tablet and netbook. I think honeycomb is something to hold tablet people over til Chrome is ready. And Android has already jumped a lot of numbers they can easily jump 3.x and go to 4 for phones.

Chrome OS is going to get dropped or at very least put on the shelf for a while. Android is too popular for Google to abandon it at this point. Its on everything. Also, at this point chrome os is no where near ready to publicly launch for consumers. Consumers would hate the OS for the most part. It offers zero advantages over android. Also, it looks like Honeycomb is running some modified version of chrome, so I am sure chrome OS apps will work on honeycomb. Maybe it wont be natively, but if there is a reason to do it, XDA will provide.

Ah don’t you just love the way the Google guys keep on with the sweet names for their Android operating system, sooner or later they will run out of ideas, but not for the next version of their OS which will apparently be called Ice Cream.
According to an article over on the Boy Genius Report by Andrew Munchbach, a report by Pocket-lint says according to “multiple sourse familiar with the matter,” the Android 2.4 Ice Cream operating system is to be released by Google sometime in either June or July of this year.
Furthermore apparently Google is expected to announce this during Google I/O 2011 in San Francisco in May. Android Ice Cream will be the next in a long line for desert-style naming from Google with the Android platform receiving Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and then Android Honeycomb for Android tables, and now Ice Cream, one wonders where it will all end.
That’s all that’s known about the new operating system no word on just what to expect improvement wise or feature wise when Ice Cream finally makes it into the Android space. Any of our readers care to hazzard a guess at what Android 2.4 Ice Cream will deliver?

Nice info, thanks for sharing!
I thought the name would be Ice Cream Sandwich as mentioned in the second link.. still nice
But the versionnumber 2.4 is hard to believe when we are already at 2.3 even before Honeycomb. Even if (which I seriously doubt) Google would seperate their software in 2 different "branches" the newest branch will unlikely have a lower version number.
Just my 2 cents

Dont think the G2 will get Ice Cream. Think it will stop at Gingerbread. Feel Ice Cream is gonna be optimized for dual core devices.
i thought ice cream sandwich was going to be 2.4. that is what i have read on most of the websites. Read that google was going making 3.x a tablet os and keep 2.x as a phone os. If that does i see it continuing with even numbers being phone os and odd being table os.

There's nothing worse than your friends having a more recent Android version than what you have, and thus getting cool new features. Google said they want "one OS that runs everywhere." They're going to do this by adapting the framework and adding new APIs "to help developers optimize for all various devices." Naturally, they're going to be open source.
I just read on google that T-mobile said G2 end of life will be soon. I doubt the G2 will see anything past Gingerbread.

If we do see ICS it is going to be because of the rom community supporting it, not the carrier. I sincerely doubt we'll see a G3 come down the pipes within the year. I can only think that HTC will keep with the two year gap like they did with the G1-G2. When they do, I would imagine that it will be running ICS, probably around mid July next year.
Admittedly this is all speculation.
That worries me tooo

T-mobile has the G2 as approaching end of life in the system, we are nearing that point. Cyanogen will still have us covered for ICS, I'm not worried.

Frankly i can't wait till the drop of ICS. I'm supporting my buddy in getting the latest of updates so moving over to a super stable rom will be a godsend.
I seriously don't want to flash ice cream in the G2 I really want the official update that we should get because ice cream will be optimized to fit all android devices. But for now we are waiting for gingerbread and after that we can hope to receive the ice cream update from htc

sorry 4.0 then. i ask because i saw a article somewhere from like may or somthin of 2010 that said wed be getting it soon so was just wondering if it ever came out. didnt know its not even in beta yet...
Ice Cream Sandwich is going to be farrrrr away. And I believe it's going to be 2.4
It's going to appear first on the Nexus 3 later this winter, probably around Christmas. So take account the time for Google to open source it, and then for Cyanogen to cook it up... We'll probably won't see Ice Cream Sandwich on this phone until early next year. Probably around Jan-Feb at the earliest.
Our first chance of seeing IceCreamSammich on this phone will likely be with CyanogenMod when ICS is released to AOSP. I'm too big a fan of some of the Sense underpinnings and apps (camera, browser) to use CM7, but for ICS, I might just go with CM8.
yea i use dolphin browser and the camera is the only thing i like about sense roms... aosp are so raw royal ginger is where its at ... bluemagic theme with adw ex is dope
I just read this article saying that the Nexus 4G will be Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich".

AOSP is the only way to go.
w/ either LPP or ADW/EX.
I think it would make the most sense to make Ice cream Sandwich 4.0. 3.x is tablets, 2.x is smartphones. since it doesn't fit in either specifically, it probably will need a new number.
And chances are it will leak out on to phones through the SDK at some point. I've heard that the emulator for the versions is released long before it is open sourced so devs can make apps for it. people are expecting it to appear in the SDK as early as Q3 this year. We can hope, right?

More likely, it will be something like Jelly Roll instead. Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, FroYo, Gingerbread, ICS (not just Ice Cream as your title states) . . . the naming convention has been following dessert-type items, not just sweets. But then, I was sure the last version would be Gelato.
Also, isn't ICS pretty clearly going to be version 4.0? This source seems to be out of the loop with that, or maybe just being very cautious without formal confirmation.
And, finally, shouldn't this be in the Android General forum?

-lol I agree, it should be Jelly Roll to coincide with previous naming.
We don't even know much and we're already talking about the next version?
-I've seen conflicting reports but does it really matter?
It should just be 3.0. One version for tablets, one for phones.

Silly.
next version?
Kiwi? Wow, good luck.
The new version will bridge the gap between all the differing versions and unite all android under the same OS - phone AND tablet. The new version, out sometime Q4 this year, will be Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.

No. ICS is a unified platform for both phones and tablets. So all devices would be running 4.0.

This is what was said at the Google I/O.
9:15 a.m. (Maggie Reardon): Ice Cream Sandwich will allow Google partners to put the OS on all kinds of form factors: phones that flip, tablets, smartphones. One OS that runs everywhere. That's the goal.

It sounds like this update is more important for phones because a lot of features sound Honeycomb-esque (except for the swipe on the multi-task roulette to kill apps, that sounds awesome).

There are so many changes this update is from the ground up in comparison to honeycomb
Think of honeycomb as the brainstorm and testing ideas and ice cream sandwich as the finished product
Framework changes UI changes memory management changes face detection improved multi tasking etc etc theres to much to list but its huge!!!!
What dog testing means is that google employees are now using a OTA of ice cream sandwich a mock up public release so to speak they say its a alpha but really its a late beta if they are sticking to there schedule plus why would they OTA a very ruff build no point so it has to be late stages or theres no point testing it on a specific device right?
Id say if they are doing this its a sign of fine tunning and getting out real world issues and bugs
Have i read but im hopefull for late december

Android is still a baby in OS terms, Windows is an Old boy now but Windows 7 was the first decent OS since .... maybe 2000 or XP if you like that kind of thing

While I have no argument with Matias' comments, I do think that Android is, by now, a mature product compared to where it was with the 1.x or even 2.x versions.
