Reports were circulating that the next major Android version after Gingerbread would be called Honeycomb, with the latest coming from industry publication TechRadar UK. In keeping with Google’s dessert-themed naming conventions, Honeycomb would follow Cupcake, Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread.
Sources at the time suggested this might be a relatively modest update, possibly a version 3.1 or 3.2, similar to how Froyo related to Eclair. Worth noting that this was firmly in rumor territory, with few hard details confirmed. Honeycomb did ultimately arrive as Android 3.0 in early 2011, optimized primarily for tablets.
