Android Gingerbread 3.0 rumored to be released October 2010

This on UnWiredView.com,

Android Gingerbread 3.0

It's rumored that only top of the line "high-end" devices will get Android 3.0. Less expensive "low-end" devices will get Android 2.1/2.2. Also only screens 4in. and larger will qualify for 3.0.

Patiently/Impatiently waiting for the release of the Android X, with (ho-hum) Android 2.1 and later 2.2

Your link does not work!!!

But I find it odd that they would rush another release when they are still in the process of the 2.2 one!!!!

Looks like Google is denying that the Gingerbread info is legit based on recent reports

Android 3.0 Gingerbread rumors kinda sorta debunked, corrected

Remember those supposed Android 3.0 details that dropped earlier this week, courtesy of oft-accurate Russian Blogger Eldar Murtazin's Digestiv podcast, as translated by Unwired View's Staska? Well, a few things have happened since then. Start with Android's Dan Morrill taking a swipe at UV's original piece, saying on Twitter "I love it when people just make stuff up and report it as news." He later couched things a tad more, saying "In summary, please remember that rumors are not official announcements. ."

Now we have Unwired View saying that it erred some in its translation of the Russian podcast, on top of Murtazin clarifying some of what he'd said, including that the supposed "minimum specs" for the next version of Android are actually recommended specs.

We'll just say this about all that: Rumors are fun, and are a part of the game. But as Morrill reminds everybody, rumors aren't fact. Just because somebody heard something from somebody else doesn't make it true. But good on people for trying to make it right after the fact, we guess.

Yes, Google's working on the next version of Android. And it likely will leave behind some of the lower-end hardware out there. And it likely will have a better UI. And it'll be a big deal, and we'll all cover it. In the meantime, a little patience wouldn't kill anybody.

they haven't even put out 2.2 for anything yet (it's been "released", but for no devices, yet), so 3 will be a while. just chill and wait. if this OS is going to descriminate by screen size, either get ready for ipad size phones or they will need to re think things. I will not buy anything with a screen bigger than4 inches, 3.7 inches makes the phone big enough. what a dumb qualification.
