For a second there I read that as a smartphone powered by icecream between two slices of bread.
I was roughly halfway towards either peltier elements or Stirling engines, when I realized hat Ice Cream Sandwich is probably one of those silly names that people feel they have to give to their software.
- thwarted 15y agoReally? It's a dessert name, just like the other Android releases. http://www.google.com/search?q=ice+cream+sandwich&tbm=isch http://www.google.com/search?q=ice+cream+sandwich&tbm=is... This is like those HN comments that ask who rms is.
- 0x12 15y agoJust between you and me, I'm not a native English speaker, had never even heard of a dessert called Ice Cream Sandwich and only belatedly realized it was a piece of software. If they'd simply call it Android version x.xx there would be no problem at all. The only other arena where I recall come across such silly names is when people name their horses. Who RMS is is important enough for me to remember, I couldn't care less what each android release is named because (1) I don't have an android phone and (2) I don't develop for Android. Saying that it is just a dessert name and that I'm supposed to realize that is the same as telling you that you should have known that Grießbrei is a dessert too (and that one at least roughly translates). There is no equivalent to Ice Cream Sandwich in any other language that I'm aware of.
