Google implanted a secret ingredient into their newest Android mobile OS, and it's the perfect sweet treat for all of you Droiders.

The Google artwork was found before Gingerbread's initial release, when the Gingerbread SDK was released to developers, but it only left people scratching their heads.  Nobody could figure out what Google was going to do with it.  But now we know.
