Android's Dessert Lineage To Continue With 'Key Lime Pie,' Report Says

While Apple uses large cats to ethics name any new chronicle let go of Mac OS, Google has opted for a ample sweeter line of sobriquets for updates to its Android working system. Beginning in April of 2009, any mobile OS chronicle has been since a dessert-related title, from Cupcake (version 1.5) to the stream Ice Cream Sandwich (version 4.0).

Besides referring to desserts, the Android ethics names follow the demand of the alphabet, meaning the next OS name will beginning with a "J," and then a "K"-anchored codename should follow thereafter. The ethics names moreover irritate heated speculation, that usually amplified during the final couple of days when the The Verge and TechRadar reported that future Android releases already have their ethics names sealed down.

The next chronicle of Android will be codenamed Jellybean , according to an Asus exec vocalization with technology blog Tech Radar . And in the more remote future, an unknown source tells The Verge , you should design the "K" let go to be declared Key Lime Pie . Cute, if not moreover a bit tangy.

To be sure, personification the moot name diversion with future program releases is easy with Android, saying as there's a coherent pattern and history. And frankly, I can't regard of that many "J" and "K" desserts in the English denunciation outward of the aforementioned. Jello runs in to heading issues, as would Krispy Kreme. As for other options, I'm stumped.

But if Android's let go motorcycle story tells us anything, design the let go to advance someday this summer.
