Android Version Naming
1. Android Version Naming
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,.. What’s this ?? Well this is the order in which most of Android versions are named so far. Don’t believe me..well here you go..
Android Versions * Android (System) * Beta (version 1.0) (released on November 5th, 2007) * CupCake (version 1.5) * Donut (version 1.6) * Eclair (version 2.0) * Froyo aka Frozen Yoghurt (version 2.2.x) * Gingerbread (version 2.3.x) * Honeycomb (version 3.x) * Icecream Sandwich (version 4.x) (The latest stable version is 4.0.4 which was released at march 28th) * J…?
