Android 1.0 & 1.1 Unnamed:
There appears to be no codename assigned to versions 1.0 & 1.1 of Android OS.Google bought a company called Android back in july 2005. Android was headed by several mobile big shots, including the former head of a big carrier, ex- owner of a phone maker, and more. After their buyout, Android went into stealth mode, and rumors apread the Google was working on a mobile phone
The dam finally broke in november 2007, when Google suddenly announced that they were indeed working on a phone. More that that , they were also working on a brand new mobile operating system called Android, based on the Linux Kernel, to be used by the open Handset Alliance, a group of 65 different hardware makers, carries , and other mobile related companies.
HTC was the first phone maker to get a real consumer phone out, the T-Mobile G1, on Oct 2008.
An update of Android, version 1.1, was released in Feb 2009. However, the first significant version of Android OS that reallu showcased the power of the platform was V1.5, codenamed "cupcake."
As Cupcake starts with letter"C", many have suspected that 1.0 had a codename starting with "A" and 1.1 had one starting with "B," but no actual codenames were ever assigned.
The 1.1 update was only available on HTC Dream , otherwise known as the T-mobile G-1. Released in Feb 2009, version 1.1 resolved a number of issues encountered in the 1.0 build as well as implementing some API changes.
The Maps app was improved to enable the display of details and reviews for venues and locations. Added functionality allowed users to click on business to view detailed information.
The dialer interface was also tweaked with a show/hide dialpad toggle and a save attachment function was added to messaging.
That pretty much wraps things up for 1.1, a relative blip on the Android landscape, so we're going to carryon our guide with the next and more significant update, Android 1.5 Cupcake.
