After Gingerbread comes…Honeycomb.

One little thing about Android that is kind of neat is that each new release carries a general revision name that is different from most — titled after desert. First it was Android 1.5 (Cupcake), then 1.6 (Donut), 2.0 (Eclair), 2.1 (Flan), 2.2 (Froyo), and finally, the upcoming Android 3.0 is believed to be called “Gingerbread”. But that’s not Android’s last stop. No sir, not by a long stretch.

According to multiple sources of TechRadar UK, the next iteration of Android after Gingerbread will take the name “Honeycomb”. Honeycomb isn’t exactly a desert in the purest sense. At least I don’t normally munch on the golden stuff when I get a craving for sweets. Nevertheless, Google looks to be continuing the sweets-based naming scheme as the platform moves forward. Unfortunately, other than an official model number 3.1 or 3.2, that’s all we know for now. No other details or specs of Honeycomb were mentioned besides the name itself.

I’m still waiting to see how Android 3.0 re-invents the platform visually. With all these Android skins being slapped on devices as of late, I’m dying for some stock Android love. You?
