In Q4 Google is promising to have in hand a unified platform combining the Gingerbread version of Android meant for phones and the Honeycomb version meant for tablets that all widgets can use regardless of screen size.
The project, nicknamed Ice Cream Sandwich, is supposed to address Android's fragmentation issues.
Google is supposed to sweeten the thing with new features too.
Meantime, it's upgraded Honeycomb, otherwise known as Android 3.0, to Android 3.1, which should be available on the Verizon 3G Xoom tablet right away to address some of its issues.
Android 3.1, which will be available more widely later on, is supposed to offer interface refinements, a movie rental service and the ability to accommodate keyboards and cameras. It should hit Google TV devices this summer.
Google has formed a standing committee to coordinate Android's release schedule. It includes Verizon, HTC, Samsung, Sprint, Sony Ericsson, LG, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Motorola and AT&T.
