Android 2.3 Gingerbread & Android 3.0 Honeycomb Spotted in Testing

We don’t have leaked images for you but only analytics data. It seems that not one, but two Gingerbread versions are being tested, GRH14B and GRH47B, although we couldn’t tell you, at least not at this time, what the final Gingerbread version is and what to expect from it.

Furthermore, we also have two Honeycomb versions spotted by Air Benchmark, a website meant to test Adobe’s Air performance on mobile devices. HRI783D and HRI83D are the two Honeycomb OS versions in circulation right now, but just like with Gingerbread, we have no idea what Honeycomb will bring us.

What we do know is that Honeycomb is rather the Android OS that’s going to be installed on current and upcoming Android tablets, while Gingerbread might be the smartphone-only next Android update. Naturally we can’t confirm any of that just yet and we’ll be waiting for Google to announce everything before we can tell you more about these two new mobile operating systems.

Speaking of launch events, Google was rumored to bring Gingerbread out at Web 2.0 Summit, but Eric Schmidt briefly showcased the unannounced Samsung Nexus S and only told us that Gingerbread is coming out in a “few weeks.” Now Google is said to have Andy Rubin announce Gingerbread in a few days, on December 6, at the “D:Dive Into Mobile” event, although, as you expect, these are also just speculations at this time.

As for Honeycomb’s arrival we can’t really pinpoint a launch date for it yet, but can only hope Android 3.0 will be out in the very near future to enhance our overall Android tablet experiences, but not only.
