Android's Alphabetical Sweetness

Google has a delicious way of naming its Android operating system. The updates are in alphabetical order starting with 'C' and are named after something sweet.

Check out the photo gallery below but be warned - it may cause hunger!

The first of Android's operating systems named after desserts was Cupcake

Then there was Donut (mmm... donut) running on v1.6

Followed by the French dessert, Eclair 2.0/2.1
Eclairs
Then there was the healthier option, Frozen Yogurt (Froyo) 2.2

Gingerbread 2.3 came in time for Christmas

Honeycomb 3.0 was the first tablet-optimised OS

Ice Cream Sandwich v2.4 is due to be released just in time for summer. Yippee!

Google recently said that it was going to limit the amount of updates to only two per year. So what can we expect next?

Here are my suggestions:

Jellybean?

Key Lime Pie?
Pie-key-lime-pie
Lemon Tart?

Google may find that it gets harder to name its updates when it gets towards the end of the alphabet - X, Y, Z....

LG Optimus One - Android Froyo 2.2

Running on Android Froyo 2.2, the LG Optimus One has a built-in MP3 player, FM radio and 3.5mm headphone jack. The 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera enables users to edit shots with face-recognition software and then upload them straight to Facebook and Twitter or share  via Bluetooth 2.1. There's also support for microSD cards up to 32GB, and a 2GB card included with the phone.
