Andy Rubin was speaking at a T-Mobile and Google media event, where Google’s VP of Engineering discussed the future of Android beyond Cupcake. The next three releases in the dessert naming scheme: Donut, Eclair, and Flan.
Rubin described a future where inbound calls would display not just a caller’s name and photo, but their most recent Facebook status update. He also indicated that developers would eventually be able to accept payment through multiple billing systems, including charging apps directly to a carrier bill alongside Google Checkout.
On momentum, Rubin said the snowball was starting to roll faster. He still expected 15 to 20 Android devices to hit the market that year, and mentioned he had recently met with a company that showed him 18 devices already running Android.
