For an "Open" Handset Alliance, Google has been keeping its cards rather close to its chest when it comes to the oft-discussed Gingerbread flavor of Android, specifically whether it would be another point release or could it be spicy enough to knock us up to 3.0. Now it's looking confirmed that Gingerbread is indeed 2.3, with Alvaro Fuentes Vasquez, member of the leadership team at the Open Handset Alliance (and who shall now be known as "The Gingerbread Man"), delivering this tweet:

Prepare your Nexus One (Developer version) for Android OTA update 2.3 (Gingerbread) in the next few days :-D

That's some good news for many N1 owners, and of course means it's time for those who possess other Android handsets to start with the hoping and the waiting.

The Motorola Milestone 2 is the euro version of the Droid 2, but it has a bonus feature - 720p HD video recording has been added to its 5MP snapper. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo with MOTOBLUR on top, which of course has Flash 10.1 out of the box. The Milestone 2 has a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM.

The Milestone sequel has plenty of other juicy specs to offer - 3G with mobile hotspot feature, Wi-Fi 802.11n support, DLNA, 8GB built-in memory and an 8GB microSD card in the box (cards up to 32GB are supported) and (naturally) an improved QWERTY keyboard.

The Motorola Milestone 2 will have an optional car dock and multimedia station if you want to make the best of it.
