Google sure will release their next smart phone with a new platform named Android Ice Cream. That said Andy Rubin, head of Google's Android on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2011 in Barcelona, Spain, on Wednesday (02/16/2011).

"Each new software release will be preceded by a hardware component," said Andy Rubin. He did not explain further, where the next one hardware manufacturer would be towed Google to make such devices.

Previously, Google has released two smartphones and one tablet to initiate the release of new versions of Android. Each of the Nexus-made HTC to introduce Eclair, Nexus S made by Samsung for Gingerbread, and Motorola Xoom for Honeycomb.

Ice Cream is the next Android platform after Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, and Honyecomb, will be named Ice Cream. This platform, said Andy Rubin, is a combination of Honeycomb and Gingerbread. Currently Honeycomb designed specifically for the tablet and the Gingerbread for smartphones.
