According to multiple reports today, Google's way-in-the-future Android 3.1 update will be dubbed Honeycomb, following their still developing 3.0 update, Gingerbread.

Currently, only a handful of smartphones have Google's latest 2.2 Froyo update, so thinking about 3.1 is just a dream at this point.

Says TechCrunch: "It's likely that it will be more of an incremental upgrade, in the same manner as Android 2.2 (Froyo) was to Android 2.1 (Éclair) as Google seeks to perfect the new platform on tablets and high-end smartphones. That means Android Honeycomb will probably be Android 3.1 or Android 3.2, rather than a leap to the unimaginable magic of Android 4.0."

Details on Gingerbread are still sketchy, although many expect 3.0 to add a significant UI overhaul, one that will remove the need for other brands to add custom skins such as HTC Sense or MotoBLUR.

For now, many Android owners would be happy to see their phone updated to 2.2, which adds native Flash support, an improved browser, a 450 percent performance boost, Apps2SD, tethering, and remote wipe.

but, some said 3.0 is just a rumor..
how come 3.1 will be coming and already got it name as honeycomb?

That's not confirmed also, by the way - it appears that Android codename is following the alphabets:

Cupcake
Donut
Eclair
Froyo
Gingerbread?
Honeycomb?

Wow. Good notice. I don't even notice till you mention this.

Yes. Android's codename are always based in Alphabetical order. And if you haven't notice, all of them are based on foods as well

More to dessert. Eric Schmidt must be dessert lover

I knew that they're based on food also coz food is human most needed thing to survive!!
Anyway, i didn't notice at all about alphabetical arrangement.. Nice finding man!!

next one should be IceKacang

Icecream maybe??

Icing

owh, yeah!! Icing!!

Linux coding all the while are following Alphabetically order
it's no surprise that Android follows it.
Just that it's choosing desert as theme!

So what was A & B?

ehh,i tot u guys who are android fans should know about alphabetically order?

But early HTC Dream (G1) units were 1.0.

I'm kinda new in Linux source especially in mobile one..
