12 suggestions for the full name of M Android – Android World

Android M is coming at Google I / O if we are to believe the program developer event. Actually we do not know much about this new Android version, but it’s been a good time to think up names for Android M. We know at least that it will be no Android Moorkop, but then what …?



Android M

Probably so there will be introduced a new Android version in Google I / O that will take place on 28 May. It is probably a preview for developers, who later in the year for ‘normal’ users will be released. We still know very little, but saw that in Android M had the ambition to bring Android to work more workplaces. In what way this will not happen is not entirely clear, but let us by surprise. Now it’s always nice to invent names, but let’s first have a piece of sweet history.



Sweet history

Google has a long track record when it comes to names of sweets think Android versions. It all started with Android 1.5 (Cupcake) was the first major update, with subsequent Android 1.6 (Donut). Thus, the sweets were a little longer: Android 2.0 / 2.1 (Eclair) Android 2.2 (Froyo), Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), Android 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 (Honeycomb), Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.1 / 4.2 /4.3 (Jelly Bean) and we came out with Android 4.4 KitKat.

This was in name a stranger in our midst. Were formerly many common names for sweets, was chosen for a brand name. The genesis was actually more like a joke gone and after a call from Google towards Nestlé, the parent company of KitKat, the name was adopted and used for Android 4.4. In the beginning, there have been a number of commercial actions KitKat, but this disappeared pretty quickly into the background. Initially, KitKat ‘Key Lime Pie’ for production.

At Google I / O 2014 we saw the next Android version as a preview, Android L. This was finally at the launch in autumn 2014 Android 5.0 Lollipop and we are now his to Android 5.1 Lollipop.
