Google has recently unveiled its new Android operating system, Honeycomb, which is going to make its debut on the Motorola XOOM tablet early in the month of March. Honeycomb is especially designed for tablets, so Google has apparently taken the decision to launch the Ice Cream Sandwich. There has been no official announcement yet about the name of the new Android operating system.

The rumors got started with Pocket-lint blog, when they said that the Android 2.4 will be called Ice Cream and might be revealed in May at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. However, TechCrunch reported that Android 2.4 would be called Ice Cream Sandwich and not Ice Cream. It is still unclear that what will be the name and the number scheme (2.x or 3.x)of the next Android OS, but we are 100 percent sure that it will start with the alpahbet “I”. Since, names of the previous desserts of Android operating system were in alphabetical order – Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb.

As we have already seen the design, feature and performance of Honeycomb on Motorola XOOM tablet, we can accept that the next dessert of Google will be integrated with the same or some more features, but for our Android Smartphones. Even if Google has not unveiled any information about the upcoming version of Android Operating System, it is expected to come in the month of June.

Android 2.x or 3.x, codenamed Ice Cream or Ice Cream Sandwich, will surely bring more advanced and powerful features to our Android Smartphones. So, just sit back and wait for Google’s dessert to be served to you. The only question is, ‘what should we expect with the next version of Android operating system?’
