Gingerbread was previously thought to be landing as version 3.0 and be a major update to the OS. However, the recent details and rumors are pointing to more of an incremental update for Gingerbread with Honeycomb that is more tablet friendly being getting 3.0 status.

The Android Gingerbread Features:

  • Bugfixes based upon its predecessor operating systems.
  • Open source video codec that can replace flash.
  • Enhanced advertising algorithm.
  • Advanced Navigation System.
  • HTML5 or higher standard specs.
  • Native video embedding in web pages that will enable viewing of any video without acquiring specific codec.
  • Enriched & more interactive User Interface.

However, 2.3 is expected to have more tablet friendly features in the OS than the existing versions. This is a big deal since many makers are pushing out Android tablets even though Google says existing Android versions are not tablet friendly. As for the applications compatible with the Android platform, currently, there are more than 100 000 apps over at the Android Market and their number is continuing growing and growing.
