GINGERBREAD

OK folks here is dumb question, What is Gingerbread? And I am not talking about the cookie either..;-)

I see almost everywhere when talking about the Droid. I know there is decal that one can download but I am very happy with my wallpaper and what my phone looks like.

So, please, just a simple, plain, easy to understand explanation what gingerbread is.

Thank you

Just as Froyo is the Google codeword for Android version 2.2, Gingerbread is the Google codeword for Android version 2.3.

It is just a name.

Scott,

Google uses dessert names as code names for the various versions of Android that come out. They also go in alphabetical order. Here's a list of the various code names:

Initial Version = Android 1.1 – Release Date: 2/10/2009
Cupcake = Android 1.5 – Release Date: 4/30/2009
Donut = Android 1.6 – Release Date: 9/15/2009
Eclair = Android 2.0/2.1 – Release Date: 10/26/2009 / 1/12/2010
Froyo = Android 2.2

Gingerbread = Android 2.3

I hope that helps.

Gingerbread / 2.3 out yet?

Expected to fix the horrible operation we all have on Moto Droid I?

Speak for yourself. My Droid works flawlessly with 2.2.

Mine works flawlessly as well, fast as hell too! No complaints here!

Hope Verizon pushes Gingerbread for Droid 1 though, I know support is trailing off for us because they're phasing this phone out.

Don't forget about the ORIGINAL Droid that started it all, Verizon!!

I'm with youall, I would love to see gingerbread in my droid 1, the reason I left blackberry was how fast they forgot about the tour. I do like the droid, but my son has an Iphone w/ AT&/T. If I change the phone I change to carrier. You forget about me, I forget about you V.

I agree. I would like to see gingerbreak for the droid I also. Please don't forget about us Verizon.
