LG Optimus One to get Android 2.3 update in May?

Looks like the Nexus One won’t be the only One (pun definitely intended!) to get some Gingerbread sweetness.  In answer to a query posed by an Optimus One user on LG’s Facebook India page, the company came back saying that LG’s bestselling midranger will indeed get the Android 2.3 update before this May finishes up.  The Korean manufacturer had already confirmed the update for the handset in December 2010 and this latest news just gives us a time frame to expect it.  As an afterthought, LG did comment saying, “This information is subject to change and confirmation on the upgrade is yet awaited,” which could of course mean that the company wants to stay on the safer side, just in case the update isn’t out by May.

The Gingerbread update is already making its way to the Nexus One and comes preinstalled on the newer Nexus S.   Samsung has also promised to update its Galaxy S along with HTC for its Desire series, and with LG joining the club, it remains to be seen if the other companies/carriers follow suit or not.
