Google surprised Android aficionados last year by dropping the naming scheme that uses dessert names to mark the release of the latest major build of Android. And this was done in alphabetical order. This practice started with Android 1.5 which was given the name Cupcake. But it wasn’t until Android 2.0 Donut launched with the release of the Motorola DROID in November 2009 that the operating system took off on the way to currently owning approximately 85% of the smartphone market.
