iPhone 5 leak from Jon Rettinger?

[aluren]

The next version, Jellybean, is all about theming and colors.

How can people actually like these names? They're childish and annoying... But to each their own. I'm just glad I don't have to say "yo, I can't wait for the double chocolate chip ice cream sandwich with reeses peices update"... Give me a break.

It makes no difference to me if I say either of the following:

1) I can't wait for iOS 5.0

2) I can't wait for Android Honeycomb.

The first one actually has more syllables, so I can see how it would be more effort to say. Yes, Ice-Cream-Sandwhich is a little on the long side. Oh well.


How I break up the syllables: i (1), O (2), S (3), five (4), point (5), 0 (6)
An(1), droid(2), honey(3), comb(4).
ice(3), cream(4), sand(5), which(6)

Actually Hon-ey-comb. There are 7 syllables in your Android statement.

That still only makes it five.

An-Droid, hon-ey-comb. This has 5


An-Droid, Ice-Cream-Sand-wich. This has 6


You would NEVER say An-Droid hon-ey-comb-ice-cream-sand-wich.

derp... early AM readings + headcolds made me overlay your syllable counts.

you don't have to. you could just say "yo, I can't wait to get 2.2 or 2.3 or 3.0" or whatever the latest firmware is. by the way, you sound like you're THAT guy that no one ever likes. YOU give me a break good sir, YOU GIVE ME A BREAK!

"Ice Cream Sandwich" ... Google truly excel at ridiculous build names.

Ever heard of these silly sounding codenames?

• Purple 2
• Bride of Buster
• Cupid
• Elroy
• Life Savers
• Wilma
• Yikes!
  

(iPhone, MacOS 8.1, Power Mac 4400, iMac Bondi Blue, iMac flavors, Time Capsule, PowerMac G4)

Let's not even bring up the fact that Steve Jobs wanted very badly to call the iMac, the "MacMan"... probably because the WalkMan was so popular. If his staff hadn't basically forced him to use iMac, we all could be using MacPhones and MacPads right now (or perhaps PhoneMans and PadMans).

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?

I did some googling, A and B were public releases, they just didn't have code names.

Public Release:

A Version 1.0
B Version 1.1
C Version 1.5
D Version 1.6
E Version 2.1
F Version 2.2
G Version 2.3
H Version 3.0 (v3.1 and v3.2)
I Version 4.0

Maybe Steve jobs should send a police on his house just like he did it on Gizmodo.

They're fun. They're there to lighten the mood. You don't number everything in you house do you (I'll have a bowl of cereal 2.4.3 today). So why not have names for software versions too?

I literally laughed out loud when I read this, and now I have to clean oats off my keyboard.

I disagree. That's also not a very good comparison... but to each their own.

There are still the numbers for people like you, so it doesn't really matter.
