Android version history
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The version history of the Android operating system began with the
release of the Android beta in November 2007. The first commercial
version, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008. Android is a
mobile operating system developed by Google and the Open Handset
Alliance, and has seen a number of updates to its base operating
system since its original release. These updates typically fix bugs and
add new features. Since April 2009, each Android version has been
developed under a codename based on a dessert or sweet treat. These
versions have been released in alphabetical order: Cupcake, Donut,
Éclair, Froyo (frozen yogurt), Gingerbread, Honeycomb and Ice
Cream Sandwich. The pre-release versions of Android were dubbed
Astro and Bender, but these names could not ultimately be used for
trademark reasons.[1] The most recent update to the Android OS was
Ice Cream Sandwich v4.0.4, which was released in March 2012.[2]
