| 5 | includes feature overviews of the various Android platform versions. |
| 6 | The links below will take you to developer.android.com where you can view this |

| 9 | <h3><a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html">Android 2.3</a></h3> |
| 10 | <p>Android 2.3 corresponded to the "Gingerbread" milestone branch, and has an API level of 9.</p> |
| 11 | <h3><a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html">Android 2.2</a></h3> |
| 12 | <p>Android 2.2 corresponded to the "FroYo" milestone branch, and has an API level of 8.</p> |
| 13 | <h3><a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.0-highlights.html">Android 2.1</a></h3> |
| 14 | <p>Android 2.1 corresponded to the "Eclair" milestone branch, and has an API level of |
| 15 | 7.</p> |
| 16 | <p>The Eclair branch was also used for 2.0 and 2.0.1; however, both of those |
| 17 | releases were quickly obsoleted by the version 2.1 Eclair release. As Android |
| 18 | 2.1 includes key bug fixes and improvements not present in 2.0/2.0.1, only |
| 19 | Android 2.1 should be used for new devices. As there is no compatibility |
| 20 | program for 2.0 or 2.0.1, the officially compatible Eclair-based release is Android |
| 21 | 2.1. (The linked document refers to Android 2.0, because there were |
| 22 | no new platform features added in 2.1.)</p> |
| 23 | <h3><a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.6-highlights.html">Android 1.6</a></h3> |
| 24 | <p>Android 1.6 corresponded to the "Donut" milestone branch, and has an API level of |
| 25 | 4.</p> |
| 26 | <h3><a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.5-highlights.html">Android 1.5</a></h3> |
| 27 | <p>Android 1.5 corresponded to the "Cupcake" milestone branch, and has an API |
| 28 | level of 3.</p> |
| 29 | <h3><a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.1.html">Android 1.1</a></h3> |
| 30 | <p>Android 1.1 has an API level of 2. Android 1.1 was known as |
| 31 | "Petit Four" internally, though this name was not used officially.</p> |
| 32 | <h3>Android 1.0</h3> |
| 33 | <p>was the first release of Android, and has an API |
| 34 | level of 1. Since it was the first released version of Android, no platform |
| 35 | highlights were prepared for this release.</p> |
