Everytime I hear about Ice Cream Sandwich, it makes me go run out and buy one. I like Google named them after delicious treats.
 
Pretty sure A & B were internal builds (i.e. non-public).

there was definately a public build before cupcake cause I remember when my girlfriend got the G1 she was waiting for cupcake to come out for an eternity to add tons of missing features
 
Theirs an alphabetical order of Android's OS, grilledcheesesandwich wouldn't work because Google already has an OS update with a "G". I know you were being funny, but I figured I would explain since you asked "What?"

Plus google is using deserts for their OS names. So "GrilledCheeseSandwhich" still wouldn't work.

I actually like the Android version names. They give they whole thing a fun side, something Google is known for.
 
Doesn't crapple have internal names for their software versions? Heard that somewhere.
 
Why so serious, Google exhibits a great sense of humor in their naming conventions.

People who are uptight, serious & judgmental don't live as long as those who enjoy the humor life has to offer.

Haha, upon reading that I imagined Bill Cosby saying that with his signature hand gestures and everything. Good stuff....

Yeah, I like the creative naming system too. I dunno why people hate it so much.

Apparently no 'code names' before Cupcake. I think the giant replica desserts on their campus are pretty cool

Copied from Apple Cupertino campus:

Steve Jobs owned Pixar had something similar too with giant Luxo lamp.

Next build name for google will be "GrilledCheeseSandwich".

Jack in the box?
 
According to all the speculated release dates the iPhone 5 could be announced any day from now until Christmas. Seriously, I could throw a dart at a calender and find 20 rumours about the iPhone releasing on whatever date I hit.

It's not impressive any more.

Appreciated. I never had an Android, so I wouldn't know. Thanks for the info ;)

Not only do they go in alphabetical order, they're all dessert names. I don't think that they had an A or B version, maybe Alpha / Beta?
