Android 2.3 ‘next major release,’ says anonymous Google engineer

Who knew a support thread on corporate WiFi login issues would lead to anything we’d care about? Cut to Google code’s Android forums, where an anonymous Google engineer confirms that this problem will be patched in the “next major release” of Android, specifically version 2.3. So… does this mean Android 2.3 is the oft-discussed (and close on the horizon) Gingerbread ? Not necessarily — while possible, there isn’t any indication to that effect, and logic doesn’t arbitrarily equate the two. After all, recall that Eclair was both 2.0 and 2.1, so there would be some historical precedence to this 0.1 leap being nothing more than sprinkles on frozen yogurt .
