Android ’s problem : There ’s a sight of Androids out there ! 1.5 , 1.6 , 2.0 and 2.1 , just to name the major current versions . A trouble , ’cause natty apps that ’ll run on 2.0 wo n’t run on 1.5 , and now everybody ’s confused . Google ’s solution ?
To split Android up over the next major versions — Froyo and Gingerbread — carve major features and heart and soul elements out of the main OS , so that you may download updates , just like Maps works now , for thing like Gmail . It ’ll even draw out to guts - atomic number 39 stuff like input method , according to Engadget ’s sources ( meaning if Google releases a spiffier newfangled keyboard , you could just download it ) .
The idea being that if there ’s an awesome new version of Gmail , you should n’t be left behind because your newsboy or phonemaker is n’t on the ball with Android update , as the great unwashed pine away with Android 1.5 would tell you . ( Just checkthis month ’s best Android appsto see how stark the fragmentation is , splintering all sort of app living . )
