Google's Nexus One to Get Gingerbread Android Update Soon [RUMOR]

The assertion makes sense, given the rumor that Gingerbread will rise on November 11.

Just last month, the release's mascot, a gigantic gingerbread man, arrived on Google’s campus amidst a flurry of excitement.

As we said back then, this new iteration represents a change in the Android landscape. While previous versions, like Froyo, were intended for mobile devices, Gingerbread is said to also include functionality for tablets.

The Nexus One was far from the most popular Android device; it was discontinued in July following disappointing sales. We’re guessing that the update will roll out to other devices in relatively short order as well (if Vasquez’s tweet is true), getting it in the hands of many more users.

We're still waiting for more news on the fabled Nexus Two, the Nexus One's possible successor that will supposedly (if it exists) run Gingerbread as well. In the meantime, Nexus One owners, keep an eye on your handsets and let us know when the update rolls in.
