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

Fair enuff but gingerbread was just finished. I'm sure there taking a short break and then working on honeycomb. I wouldn't expect 2.4 our ice cream in the summer if this rumor is true

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

Nope that was just a developing error. It's supposed to be 2.3.

I am pretty sure Honeycomb is tablet only. Thats what I took from that video anyway.

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.

Isn't Chrome OS x86-only?
I'm waiting till they get to "S" then it will be android 10.0 called "SKYNET". yes.. get me some guns!
I'm starting to feel like every new release just reveals how half baked this platform really is.

just wondering... icecream sandwhich sounds deliecious...
3.1 is not ice cream sandwich. That's going to be android 4.0 which hasn't even been released yet buddy.

Although 3.1 is rocking. Looking forward to the usb peripheral support. Toshiba thrive out next month. Grabbing it the day it comes out.
I read somewhere units with micro usb supporting 3.1 can still utilize this function with an adapter.
Fyi 3.1 is still honey comb
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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?
is it possible to port MIUI to the A500?
miui is gingerbread, and the a500 runs honeycomb. no reason to downgrade amirite? there is no hc source either, so it looks like miui will never have a honeycomb version, same goes for cyanogenmod. it looks like we're gonna have to wait for ice cream sandwich
lol nice! "Ice cream sandwich"

Are you that much out of the loop? http://www.android.com/
nope
well it could be possible unless you wanted to run gingerbread on ur tab xD
Is it possible to port Cm7 to galaxy tab 10.1v? Would be great. ;-)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
CM7, MIUI ... all great but without source for honeycomb not really
With the release of the Ice Cream Sandwich source they will get on the tablets for sure!
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to General
While it is probably possible to port CM7 to the tab 10.1, someone would need to do the work.
And I doubt anyone would want to port a phone OS to a tablet OS.
CM7 is gingerbread only, which is phone only (those 7 inch tablets running gingerbread don't make very good tablets to me).
I doubt honeycomb source will ever get released and thus not viable for cyanogen mod.
I would not be suprised however that cyanogen will port ice cream sandwich though, for which the source will be available. That might be called CM8 then.
This future CM8 may be ported to the tab 10.1 then...
However, if it ever comes, it will not be this year.
