When will Android 3.0 get released?

[retskrad]

When will it get released? I have read everywhere that Google is focusing the most on the UI and im eager as hell to see it.

probably not til summer next year if i had to guess

I heard 2.5 will be at the beginning of the next year, so I would agree that 3.0 will be sometimes late next year.

From what I have been able to gather from reading various articles is that Android is about to 'split'. Gingerbread (Android v3) is mostly designed to run on tablets and bigger top-end mobiles. The "normal" android phones will stick with a variant that will stay with a 2.xx pre-fix. This will allow Google to produce a better OS more suited to larger screen devices (tablets, pads or large screen HTC's (!) ) and still keep phone users happy with a slightly different but more 'phone-focused' OS.

I hope that in getting an HTC Desire HD that I will eventually get Gingerbread, but I wont be holding my breath. Having had a HTC Hero and lived through to update (1.5-2.1 what a disappointment) I am not too eager to go through that again.

"Bigger screen" ehh, the resolution is stil the same, so why would the size make any differance..

my theory- Desire&N1 will probobly not get the gingerbread update as sense ui 2.0 won't fit alone, so where would you get ther extra space from, SD card? not good for everyday is it? some smaller ota we will get but nothing major in my opinion..

Because with newer devices and larger screens WILL bring higher resolutions and new version of Android is necessary to support that

except they both will have the same resolution... Desire HD- http://bigphonefight.com/htc-desire-...-desire-review

Screen/keyboard:

HTC has built the Desire HD with a huge 4.3-inch touch-sensitive display. This LCD screen has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. With its 4.3-inch dimensions, this translates to an overall pixel count of 384,000, giving the Desire HD has a pixels per inch (PPI) rating of 216.977.

I'm not talking about desire HD.... its just a dressed up EVO. I'm talking about tablets mainly that will have 7in plus screens that need a higher res
