Gingerbread reportedly spotted in the wilds of Belgium

When you think of Belgium, lots of delicious things come to mind -- truffles, to-die-for dark chocolate, waffles, and now Android 2.3 Gingerbread.  Android developer Christophe Versieux, author of the BeTrains Belgium app, sent us in a little tip that he has found an honest-to-goodness Gingerbread user running his app.  The user string: "Dalvik/1.4.0 (Linux; U; Android Gingerbread Build/GRH14B )" lets us know that someone is running it outside of Google's Mountain View campus, and we know the build number. (Whether that ends up being the "release" build is anyone's guess; remember how many versions of Froyo we went through on the Nexus One.) Now all we need is the official announcement.  Thanks Christophe!
