The dust still hasn’t settled with all the updates rolling out for Android 2.2 (Froyo), and all the info swirling its successor 3.0 (Gingerbread), but now we have to memorize yet another sweet sounding moniker?

The ubiquitous “multiple sources” have cited Honeycomb as the next iteration of Google’s mobile OS. While Gingerbread aims to completely revamp the user interface, Android 3.x (Honeycomb) will be more of a minor update, the way 2.1 followed 2.0 (Éclair).

Google used to say that only the major releases will have sweet-sounding names, and minor releases will come with plain numbers, but they strayed away with 2.2 by naming it Froyo. We wouldn’t call Android 2.2 insignificant update given what it brought to the table, so we have high hopes for Honeycomb – if only we knew what Gingerbread will be. We sincerely hope Google will slow down with those releases after Android 3.0, as it promised, since we are getting sugar-rushed every two or three months now, this can’t be good for our health.

In the beginning of 2008, Adobe’s AIR was released, providing a cross-platform browser-less runtime. For those that don’t speak Geek, this just means that AIR allows users to run otherwise web-based Flash, HTML, Actionscript, and JavaScript applications on their desktop, rather than within the limited browser window.

With the release of AIR 2.5 in Q4, Android users will be able to enjoy their new Flash 10.1 experience on their devices, rather than through confining browsers. The other key benefit, besides accessibility, is the cross-platform integration that AIR provides. Because it is based on the common root language of Flash, existing apps and games will be much more easily adaptable, so we can expect a plethora of new applications to be made available to Android soon thereafter.
