Google is set to release the next major version of Android by the end of this year. Sticking with their sweets-inspired codenames, this one will be dubbed Gingerbread.
Clearly, if they want to release it this year, Google engineers are already hard at work on Android 3.0. However, no one outside of Google should have access to this version so early in the development cycle.
That said, make of this picture what you will.
This may be legitimate. It may be a test phone inside Google. It might be a Google engineer’s phone. It may even be that somehow, someone outside Google managed to get their hands on a phone running Gingerbread for a few minutes and snapped this photo.
Or it could be a well made Photoshop fake.

Today’s adjustment of the DMCA has far-reaching legal implications, which will only be evident after a few weeks, months, or even years as various parties exploit them however they can. I’m going to let the experts play in that sandbox. But one of the new rules seems to have had a specific target in mind: Apple. To wit:
About her rumors, Michelle said: "I will not bother about rumors, not be annoyed, these are 'sidedishes' only. Directors who've collaborated with me usually do work with me again, (I) believe audiences have enlightened sight, everyone is in the theatre to watch acting skills, not to speculate on rumors."
Taiwan model-actress Lin Chiling appeared as a spokesperson for Chinese bathroom fixture company HCG, run by rumoured boyfriend, 'Toilet Bowl Prince' Qiu Shi Kai, during a press event in Shanghai on Saturday, reported Chinese media.
Sources confirm that Daniel Craig, the man best known as James Bond, will next play the scruffy muckraker Mikael Blomkvist in the Hollywood adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Deadline first announced the longtime rumor. Craig, 42, has signed on as the middle-aged journalist in David Fincher’s suspense-filled trilogy, the first of which is set to be released Dec. 21, 2011. Now Fincher can focus his attention on casting his heroine, the diminutive hacker Lisbeth Salander. Screen tests for the highly-coveted role are expected to happen this week.
Sure, we've been hearing whispers that Apple's got a new Mac Pros and some updated iMacs waiting in the wings, but our friend John Gruber at Daring Fireball seems just a mite more confident about things -- in a post trumpeting the return of his podcast The Talk Show, John coyly says tomorrow "might hypothetically" bring new Mac Pros, speedbumped iMacs (we'd guess the Core i3 will make its OS X debut), and a new 27-inch 16:9 Cinema Display will all arrive tomorrow. John also says the Magic Trackpad might also arrive tomorrow, but he's calling that one a "double-hypothetical," so who knows -- we'd think anything more serious than hardware refreshes would warrant a Jobs introduction, but hey, maybe Steve's all talked out for the month. We'll see what happens -- stay tuned.
