iOS version code-names
While Android's dessert-derived code-names like Cupcake and Ice Cream Sandwich are publicly pitched by Google and used by media, Apple's iOS code-names don't get anywhere nearly as much attention. Developer Steve Troughton-Smith, however, gave them some Twitter love this morning.
- 1.0: Alpine (1.0.0 - 1.0.2: Heavenly)
- 1.1: Little Bear (1.1.1: Snowbird, 1.1.2: Oktoberfest)
- 2.0: Big Bear
- 2.1: Sugarbowl
- 2.2: Timberline
- 3.0: Kirkwood
- 3.1: Northstar
- 3.2: Wildcat (iPad only)
- 4.0: Apex
- 4.1: Baker
- 4.2: Jasper (4.2.5 - 4.2.10: Phoenix)
- 4.3: Durango
- 5.0: Telluride
- 5.1: Hoodoo
Nowhere near as sweet as Google's, or even the big cats Apple uses, very publicly for OS X releases, including the latest 10.7 Lion. Maybe they could spice things up a little. What do you think, Star Wars planets? Pasta shapes? Tasty caffeinated beverages?

they should call them after obscure color names.
I'm a skier/snowboarder, so I think these names are pretty cool.
I was gonna say - aren't these names of ski slopes?
maybe they can use different types of apples... oh wait
I think they use these unconventional names to help with their ironclad security practices. If someone hears about Apple's Kirkwood or Hoodoo, they won't have any idea what they are hearing about. If they followed a traditional convention then everyone would know what letter or category to look for. Apple FTW!
Uhhh... ya think? o_O
Where you born with an ass sewed to your face or did you do that on your own?

They are all names of ski resorts in Tahoe area, some of my favorites are in there
Not all taho, but ski resort/slopes for sure. I used to ski Durango Colorado every year... At the time the resort was called purgatory and all runs had heaven/hell/in between names. Sweet if you ask me!!! Much better than "ice cream sandwich"!!!
No Heavenly?
it was in there. 1.0.0-1.0.2.
Apparently I'm snow blind.
aren't these all ski spots ?
What device is shown in the pic? it has a very high screen resolution...
it's clearly an ipad.
There is an interesting device that this company named "Apple" makes. It is called an "iPad". I believe they are on version 2 now.
My ideas:
-- Dirty Sanchez -- Muffintop -- Cankles -- Spitshine -- Say, Vicar! -- Glazed Donut -- Grandma's Cookie -- Golden Shower -- Merkin -- Cupertino Threeway -- Pearl Necklace -- Crimson Tide -- The Hunt for Pink October -- Man Chowder
Apple, call me!
