Android Cupcake To KitKat Via Eclair

Not an Android user so I guess I do have somewhat of an excuse for having completely missed this so far. But then again it's so cool, I don't. So I imagine this is the kind of tiny detail that makes people love brands: 1. naming their operating systems after popular sweets and 2. permanently changing that with every update. See a detailed review of each system's features here.


Android 1.0 Astro


Android 1.5 Cupcake


Android 1.6 Donut


Android 2.0 / 2.1 Eclair


Android 2.2 Froyo


Android 2.3 Gingerbread


Android 3 Honeycomb


Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich


Android 4.1 Jellybean

Right now, they got to Android KitKat, a move celebrated and launched via 50 million branded bars. Read the article here. I wonder if they switch to appetizers or something when they get to Z.
