Details about the up-and-coming version of Android have been released. Android 3.0, nicknamed Gingerbread, has been revealed by a developer at Google. Not only will Android 3.0 set the bar even higher than it currently is, but it will also have minimum hardware requirements. Android 3.0 Gingerbread will be compatible only with handsets equipped with at least a 1 GHz Processor, 512 MB RAM, and a display of at least 3.5". The OS will support a 1280 x 760 resolution is displays of 4-inches and above. This looks to be Google's way of evening out the user-experience of Android users across the band, and perhaps even better the video and gaming on their OS as well. Google has recently acquired Palms former webOS interface designer, so we can expect a new experience as well as a new interface with Android 3.0 Gingerbread. Although none of this information has been confirmed by Google itself, Google did state at it's I/O Conference this year that exciting things were in store for Android. Gingerbread will likely be the last major update for Android in the next 6 to 9 months, as Google is planning on slowing down releases to just 1 major release per year. [informationweek]
