Next version of Android to be called Honeycomb?

Rumor August 19, 2010

This little tidbit ranks pretty high on the rumor Richter scale, but we thought we would pass along the intel anyways. For those of you who like to be hip, and with it, you’ll definitely want to know that Google’s next, next iteration of Android (after Gingerbread) will be called Honeycomb. The scoop comes from technology blog techradar, and the publication writes, “Android Honeycomb will probably be Android 3.1 or Android 3.2, rather than a leap to the unimaginable magic of Android 4.0.” What do you think of the alleged new name?

    Boy, you got to love the names these guys over at Google throw out for an OS. I don’t think they’ll get in trouble if they were to use the name because Honeycomb is an actual thing, it’s not a creation, it’s a sort of food besides it’s two different types of businesses (tech and food). But I’m no lawyer so who really knows…

    Great. Thanks BGR. Now I want Honey Combs.

    You urban folks don’t know nothing. They are probably referring to real honeycomb, from our hard working gals, the Honey Bee.

      Cue the animated “That’s racist” GIF here.

        how is urban racist? urban in the city, rural means in the country .. at no point was there any mention of race.]

        Get off the hyper sensitive victim mentality already.

    Come to the Honeycomb hideout!

    It’s driving me nuts that we have speculative “H” names for Android updates, but NO information about Gingerbread.

    Everyday I’m expecting to see some leak or update about what it’s going to look like, or what new features are implemented, and nothing yet.

    If it is going to be Q4 2010, WHERE IS THE LEAKS?

    I hope the rumors are true that Gingerbread is going to be a huge UI overhaul. Froyo is awesome but the black backround with bland icons is growing quite boring.

    so i guess huckleberry is out

  • blake

    am i the ONLY person that remembers the commercials?

    ME WANT HONEYCOMB!

    i honestly can’t believe i’m the first person to say this.

    They should call it kix. Then they can get mikey to like it.

  • Justin

    seriously? we can’t get Froyo rolled out on anything, gingerbread has 0 info out about it, and you are speculating on honeycomb already?

    What happened to the article about slowing down to catch up and reduce the platform fragmentation ?

  • Capt.Obvious

    Note to Google… can we just get Froyo please!? I would love to put my apps on my SD.

  • reusable

    I’m still waiting for the Android 2.2 update you reported on for my Incredible.

  • LAHKAIN

    I am stating to think that either the folks at google dont get to eat very often, or that they are very over weight…why else would all the names be about food???

  • Kendall Spann

    I like android but it needs the slow down and get everybody caught up with the current version.

  • Swapmeet Louie

    How about “Fudge Pack”

    That might be a big hit with the Android Fanboys!

    Hot Buns !
