Google's Tardmo Android OS Version Code Names

At Least Big Brother Gives His Locked Down Phone OS Code Names
That Don't Sound Like They Originated From An Obese Person

The creators of Android decided a while back to code name their versions of the OS with really dumb-sounding dessert types in addition to simply using the version numbers. So if you're looking for certain versions of the OS to download, or searching for information about a specific version, you'll find stupid comments on forums with statements such as "I'm using Donut Crumbs, " "Donut runs better for me than Eclair," or some other such nonsense.


Here's a guide:


1.5  Cupcake 

1.6  Donut  

2.0, 2.1  Eclair 

2.2  Froyo  

2.3  Gingerbread 

3.0  Honeycomb (tablet)

2.4  Ice Cream (not yet released)

3.1 is still rumored to be given the ridiculous name of "Ice Cream Sandwich." I can imagine staff people running around at Google having to say Ice Cream Sandwich all day long... or maybe they just shortened it to "ICS." 

To imitate everyone and their dad nowadays:

Me (imitating a douche): "Really Android? REALLY?"
Android (imitating me): "Yes, stfu with the 'really's already."

Disclaimer: I like pastries and other desserts

This post was actually  just created to showcase the fairly unoriginal Steve Jobs graphic I created above.
