The Nexus One's Android 2.3 Gingerbread update promised 'in next weeks'

Wow! The Google android Nexus one are certain to get its over-the-air Gingerbread update in a few weeks, based on the GoogleNexus Twitter account. In a few weeks?!? This means we have to repeatedly hit the program update button starting now, right? RIGHT?!?!

We understand, Patience isn't your strong suit. But an appealing thing happened while the Android 2.3 code was launched last week: Google said the AOSP code cannot only be compiled and slapped to a working build to the Nexus One and also the Nexus S. Of course, that did not stop anybody, and we have had builds running since last Friday night and several of them are getting pretty good. But let us give the youngsters at Google a little time to obtain things correct (and, perhaps, enjoy their holidays?) just before pushing any more code, m'kay?
 

Samsung Galaxy S to obtain Android Gingerbread 2.3 Up-date

The effectiveness of Twitter has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S will acquire an update to Android Gingerbread 2.3. Buyers in India asked Samsung via Twitter perhaps the Galaxy S would receive an upgrade to 2.3 and two Tweets confirmed which it would, however no release date may be given.

The game developers only got their practical Android Gingerbread 2.3 last week then it will at least be a few weeks before an update to the Galaxy S is prepared. Other manufacturers hoping for the Gingerbread bandwagon quickly include LG who's said to be in the process of updating the LG optimus. HTC have also confirmed that their array of Android devices will also receive the update but just like the others there's no clear indication when.

Android Honeycomb (3.0) was already spotted on the Motorola device so anticipate to see a fairly brisk rollout of Gingerbread to the above devices, for others we will have to wait to see.

 Are there an Android Smartphone and you think Gingerbread will be provided on it?

LG Optimus One Android Gingerbread update declined

LG claims hardware restrictions prevent FroYo phone from getting Gingerbread one, Google suggests to differ.

Just 48 hours after its debut, the rollout of Android Gingerbread has already been beginning to cause issues for Google. Using a Nexus One update still “a few weeks” away according to one dev, now LG has stepped in and said its Optimus One won’t to have to make the move to Android 2.3.

The reason why? It says Gingerbread needs a minimum 1GHz processor, and also the Optimus One has a 600MHz number inside. Based on LG’s official Facebook page in the united states, “…it’s impossible to update the processor, unfortunately”.

Except, it appears, LG’s fibbing. Android boss Dan Morrill accepted Twitter using this barbed comment: “Random note: there’s no hard minimum processor desire for Gingerbread. Trust me, if there were I’d know”. Ouch.
So, it appears, the problems mobile makers experienced with getting Android FroYo onto old devices looks set to keep with Gingerbread. Is Google releasing so many updates? Or do handset mavens have to get their act together?
