"Cupcake" was the code-name for a development milestone, as well as the name
for the source code branch corresponding to that milestone.  Our naming
convention is currently tasty, delicious desserts, similar to how Ubuntu
uses Hardy Heron, Gutsy Gibbon, and the like as their code names.
We didn't think people would find this as amusing as they have, and it got
picked up by the press more widely than we expected.  Regardless, "Cupcake"
is now a defunct name, since that milestone is past.  Android 1.5 is the
actual name+version for the current Android platform release.

You may also see references to "donut", which is simply the next (current)
milestone.

Is the next milestone a mayor version, (2.0) or something between? Just
wondering since mayor version releases usually are more feature rich than
bug fixing related.

It's still early in the cycle for the next milestone, and so a version
number hasn't yet been assigned.

The leaked roadmap stuff seem to have donut down as 2.0.

Out of curiosity are we talking iced or jam? :)

Leaked? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

The tags are in the open source project. Googlers routinely talk about donut
being the next dev tree. The crap about it being 2.0 is unsubstantiated, but
otherwise its public. (Of course, there is still no roadmap - letting the
open source contributors know what the goals are would be cheating. Or
something.)

How about changing "donut" to "chocolate flavored creme patissiere
Eclaire topped with fondant icing and sprinkled with walnuts and
almonds".

What about plain, frosted, twisted, cream filled, etc..  Let's not
limit our options here.
