Some information has been spotted about the next two version of the Google [GOOG] smartphone operating systems. The next version, expected next week, is Android 2.3 AKA Gingerbread. Following that we hear that it’s Honeycomb or Android 3.0 in number terms.
The information was gathered from AIRBench who gathers information on benchmark tests on various phones. It appears that some users who are testing the operating systems have been using this service to record scores. AIRBench is a system that measures how well the Adobe Air software will run on a particular device.
Although we fully expect to see Android 2.3 Gingerbread showing up in various logs, what we didn’t expect so soon was Android 3.0 AKA Honeycomb, to be showing up already. Perhaps the tablet friendly OS is closer than we think.
The good news to be gathered from all of this is more that the Google Nexus One was used to test both 2.3 and 3.0 which could indicate that there’s a lot of life left in the Nexus One smartphone.
