There's talk once again that Android 2.4 is simply a minor bump to Android 2.3, that it will work with Android 3.0 (codenamed Honeycomb) apps, and that it should arrive in April 2011.
Those that think this is an early April Fools' joke will be quick to point out that this conflicts with a previous rumor that says Android 2.4 will be codenamedIce Cream (Sandwich) and that it will be ship this summer.It appears that either Android 2.5 or Android 3.1 will be codenamed Ice Cream (Sandwich) or maybe, the original rumor from four months ago was right all along: Android 4.0 is where it's at. In either case, Google needs to clearly outline its branching strategy for Android: will the split of smartphone (Android 2.x) and tablet (Android 3.x) remain indefinitely?
