Versions 1.0 and 1.1 are not "Astro Boy" and "Bender"

According to "A History of Pre-Cupcake Android Codenames", 1.0 and 1.1 are not codenamed "Astro Boy" and "Bender". The article says 1.1 was indeed codenamed "Petit Four" internally, but neither 1.0 nor 1.1 had officially established codenames, and both "Astro Boy" and "Bender" were only used for some pre-1.0 versions. 193.124.92.196 (talk) 13:57, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it's been fixed. Android Source provides the same info for confirmation. – The Grid (talk) 14:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Android 1.0 is Cupcake and 1.1 is (possibly!) Petit four.
