Google will release two version of Android this year: Donut (Android 1.6) and Enclair (Android 2.0). The third version is code-named Flan. There will be also the fourt version as said by Andy Rubin, Google’s top Android executive recently in an interview talks about the future of Android. One of the topic discussed is about the specific functions in Donut and Eclair which said that they will take advantage of the most powerful processors on the market for features like 3D gaming.
As we know that the fastest processors in the market right now is 1GHz processor built Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Platform chipset products QSD8250. This is the one that will come with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 Rachael which will run on Android OS. Looking at the Donut’s features been discussed recently, it seems that this 3D gaming feature is not included. So Andy Rubin probably means that for the Eclair or Flan or even the fourth version. Based on this fact, the upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 is likely to ship with the Eclair (Android 2.0) or the third version Flan.
