I know, I know. The indications were that the next version of Android, 2.3, was supposed to be out already. It has been nearly a week since an OHA member tweeted that the Nexus One would be getting the Gingerbread OTA update in &''the next few days&''. So far, nothing. But Google is doing their best to keep whetting everyones&' appetite.

Yesterday, the search giant sent out a tweet from their mobile account (yes, the one they paid to promote on Twitter two days ago). The tweet read, &''Our cafes are baking something sweet&'', and contained a link to a TwitPic of dozens of gingerbread Android cookies. Cute Google, cute.

It&'s been three weeks since Google put the giant Gingerbread Man on their lawn.

By the way, the metadata on the picture shows that it was taken with a Nexus One (and not the mythical �a4���a4� and delayed �a4���a4� Nexus S). No word on if it was powered by Gingerbread.

Perhaps Google is just timing the launch of Gingerbread to take some of the wind out of Facebook&'s sails. After all, the social network is set to launch their email-killer on Monday.
