Next version of Android to be called Honeycomb?

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?

I always like Waffle Crisp better. It turned your milk into syrup. That stuff was awesome.

I’m thinking more like honeybun :-)

Who gives rats ass. They can’t even roll out froyo smoothly.

Nate

I think it’s much more the fault of companies like HTC and Motorola adding their own UIs on top of Android that are delaying the roll-out of FroYo…
Mitch

Some research would do you good, son.

You are a fool.

Its also the carriers fault. They don’t seem to care once they’ve sold you a phone and locked you in two years of cell phone pergatory. Well some might care, but they have little incentive to really push for it. They would make way more money off you buying the DROID (insert stupid name or letter/number combination here).

yea because iphone OS updates never have any problems, hahaha

grrr

That cereal is gross. The name is dumb too.

Mitch

If it were gross it wouldn’t be around anymore.

Honeycomb cereal has literally been around for 45 years.

Aww man, I was hoping for Hot Chocolate, or HoCho!

You, sir or ma’am, are a dipstick.

Mark Schleupner

Wow… I still have those Spooky Stories records that were on the back of the cereal boxes!

Honeycome eh?

I can’t say I predicted that one.
PAPINYC

If I not mistaken, POST has that trademarked.

I don’t really like it and I’m an Android guy with my EVOOO.

What comes after Honeymoon?

Froot Loops?

Google should stick with the baking theme, after all,
they are baked ROMS/OS’S and the possibilities are endless.

Its Googles MO to steal ideas from others so “Honeycomb” makes plenty of sense to me.

Skip tamke

Honeycomb big, yeah yeah yeah! It not small, no no no!

Perfect name for the next release!
Todd

it’s jut a rumor people…do remember that.
Josh

Honeycomb is not going to be the name. How’s that going to look on Google’s lawn next to the other Android sculptures? Techradar is the same idiots that said 2.1 was going to be called Flan.

“Google erects oversize statues of each cake on its Mountain View campus to celebrate the release of each major Android version. What’s next? Fudge? Fritter? Our money is on ‘Flan’ for Android 2.1…”

Sounds like a RAM hog. “Honeycomb’s big, ya, ya, ya! it’s not small, no, no, no!
Anybody here that old?

I am that old.

I used to get pumped when I was a kid going to Magruder’s in Vienna to head down the cereal isle.

Back in the day Honeycomb had the best prizes.

I think they should go with Cap’n Crunch myself.

Apple Jacks!

This is ridiculous. They said that after Gingerbread they would slow down with the upgrades. Also they would unify all the UIs (remove the UIs). At this rate we will have phones with Cupcake, others with Froyo, others with Gingerbread and a few with Honey whatever.

navi

keep in mind this is only a rumor. until Google announces anything it is all pure speculation.

Android fragmentation is no rumor. Its alive and well. It will go on and on because the Android OS to device manufacture relationship is equivalent to throwing random sh!t at a wall and seeing of it sticks.
AndroidFella

I guess Android “fragmentation” is not different than from Windows or even Apple’s. How many different versions of iPhone OS’s are still out there, which developers still have to support? Toss in the iPad’s, and now a rumoured 7″ iPad.

“Fragmentation” is the wrong word. It’s a new version period. And if you hate waiting for “the new version” you should have bought a Nexus One like I did. :) I never ever see “fragmentation”.
Weezy

It wasn’t available on a decent carrier. AT&T with their shotty network and then Tmobile with their extremely shotty network, no thanks.
MSF

True. But what makes Android worse is the customization with the hardware manufacturers.

Dump Sense
Dump Blur
Dump whatever is next.

Stock Android would be better.

If the Nexus One was available on Verizon I would be using that instead of my Droid X.

Glenn

I prefer the codename hotcakes! lol

When J comes along, I vote for “Johnny Cakes”

Nothing tempts your tummy,… Like the taste of my nuts an honey… Oh, err, wrong cereal.

Picked For You

OnePlus keeps giving you reasons not to buy the OnePlus 5

Google’s Pixel 2 will ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and nobody seems to care

If Comcast buys Verizon, we should all give up and go home
