What should we expect from Android’s Gingerbread and Honeycomb updates?

Marty Gabel | Appolicious ™ Android App Directory: "Cupcake. Donut. Eclair. Froyo. What’s up next? Why, it’s Gingerbread and Honeycomb of course. These future Google Android updates may posses sweet nicknames, but they also pack a lot of power and continue to improve the still quite youthful Android operating system, hopefully adding both function and performance.

When can we expect these updates? A lot depends on the mobile carriers and the device manufacturers themselves. With a huge number of devices (both smartphones and tablets) on different networks, some old, some new, there’s no uniform rollout like Apple iPhone users see. You take your chances with the device you buy, and the staggered rollout of these updates continues to be a large bone of contention with many Android owners.

Still, there’s plenty of information on what we can expect from the forthcoming updates. We’re just not sure when they’re going to drop. Let’s take a look at some of the new functionality, features, and improvements we hope to see when Gingerbread and Honeycomb finally get unleashed.
