Don’t worry, we’re as confused as you are about this whole Android thing. We keep getting little hints about the future of Google’s mobile operating systems–names like Honeycomb, Gingerbread, Ice Cream. If the alphabetical thing holds up, then it ought to go in exactly that order.

The question is what the number release on the next major upgrade will be. Many have suggested that Gingerbread will actually be version 3.0 of Android. New comments from an anonymous Google engineer on the Android forums, on the other hand, seem to that 2.3 is actually the next big release in the pipes.

The engineer replied to user concerns about enterprise Wi-Fi problems after updgrading to Froyo, writing, “Yes, Android 2.3 is a “marjor release,” and this patch will be available then.”

No word on whether 2.3 will be the mythical Gingerbread, however.
