First information about the new, probably the third version of the Android operating system started circulating the web last week. It is believed that the developers are likely to stick with the existing naming convention, and the new version will be called Android Gingerbread.

All that is known at the moment are the rough hardware requirements to run the new version of Android. Take a deep breath … here they are:
• CPU – at least 1 GHz
• RAM – at least 512 MB
• Display – with a diagonal of 3.5 “and above

In addition, there is information that the system will support screen resolutions of 1280 × 760 pixels for displays with a diagonal of 4″ and more. I assume that there will be an Android expansion to the booming pad market, or, alternatively, Google encourages devices like Motorola Droid X.

Another interesting news is that the new version will have a redesigned interface. There are fears that Google could limit or even restrict changes to the graphical user interface for phone manufacturers. Simply ban use of things like HTC Sense, Motorola Motoblur, Samsung TouchWiz, etc. In my opinion if this happens, we will see the first epic fail from Google since the beginning of Android development.

There will be more information coming in the near future, and I will keep you updated with all news. The “cookie” looks interesting, but at the same time has a strange taste … is it ginger?
