Android and Dessert Names
Google's Android division certainly has a sense of humor as it named
all their version codenames after desserts (just as Intel name all its
CPUs after rivers). To celebrate new version release of Android, a giant
mock-up of the dessert that matches the codename is usually delivered
to the Google Campus and put on display.
So what are the different versions of Android OS, and the desserts associated with them? Let us go over a short history of when's what.

Noname 1.0 and 1.1 versions
There appears to be no codename assigned to Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of Android OS.
Google bought a company called Android back in July 2005. Android was headed by several mobile bigshots, including former head of a big carrier, ex-owner of a phone maker, and more. After their buyout, Android went into stealth mode, and rumors spread that Google is working on a mobile phone.
The dam finally broke in November 2007, when Google suddenly announced that they are indeed working on a phone (Google Phone), but also 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 maker, carriers, and other mobile-related companies.
HTC was the first phone maker to get a real consumer phone out, the T-Mobile G1 (also known as the HTC Dream outside of US), on October 2008.
An update of Android, version 1.1, was released in February 2009. However, the first significant version of Android OS that really showcased the power of the platform is V1.5, codename "Cupcake".
As Cupcake starts with letter "C", it's is widely suspected that 1.0 would start with "A", and 1.1 would start with "B", but no actual codenames were ever assigned.
