Right now all that is known about the next version of Android, called Gingerbread, is that Google was originally aiming for a late October release, but we haven't heard much on that either. Also confirmed is that Google is working primarily on the user experience (interface, I'm assuming), and will add support for WebM video playback via HTML5 on the browser. Other things such as version number (like 2.3 or 3.0), hardware requirements, baked in UI, etc., have all been debunked by Google as being nothing more than speculation.
