Clarified Android 3 leak – specifications are just recommendations

A recent clarification of potential Android 3.0 information suggested that Google may not be implementing as strict a hardware and software split as thought before. Following the claims by Google’s Android Open Source leader, Dan Morrill, that the information was made up, Eldar Murtazin has clarified that the 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and the 3.5-inch display are a simple recommendation, not mandatory. Unwired View corrected as well its translation and said that Android 2.1 and 2.2 are more likely to be used for lower-end handsets than before.

However, Google is still suspected to be looking at a major interface update for future operating system launches; it’s though unclear if this would happen with the 3.0 version, an interim 2.x build, or with a later release of the OS. Lately, Google has changed the version codenames (for example, it has changed the Éclair from 2.0 to 2.1); therefore, it’s still unclear if the publicity acknowledged Gingerbread is 3.0 or even another variant entirely.
