We’ve seen Cupcake, now Donut and next in the rather ridiculous Android naming scheme is Eclair, or more popularly Android 2.0.  At the moment Motorola is confirmed to be launching the Motorola Droid with Android 2.0, but as Sprint users sit and wonder when their HTC Hero will even make it to 1.6, HTC has come to save the day.  The manufacturer has confirmed to GearLog that they have an Android 2.0 device in house and they are using it to build future phones.  Although this does not answer the question of when Android 2.0 roll outs will come to other carriers, it at least confirms that HTC is digesting the new build and they certainly plan to support it.  An official announcement for Android 2.0 is expected to come sometime this week and with any luck we’ll be announcing release dates for all of the existing devices.
