Google
is expected to release the latest version of its mobile operating
system sometime this month, and the company just published a fun video
teasing the new name.
Google traditionally names its products after sweet treats — KitKat, Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich, Honeycomb, Gingerbread, etc — and when it referred to the next big update as Android "L" at this year's I/O conference, people started guessing. Now, Google has added to the hype itself.
The scene starts in a casting room for sweets that start with the letter L:
Lemon Meringue Pie is prepping with jumping-jacks:
Lava Cake and Lady Finger look nervous:
Lemon Drop practices looking sweet:
And dark horse L-candidate Oreo looks scarily determined:
Of course, Google doesn't actually reveal what the name of Android 5.0 will be:
But leaves us in suspense:
The latest rumour we heard about the name was actually that the L stood for "licorice" courtesy a Google+ post. The post, since deleted, read "What's with all the boxes of licorice? #thingstheTSAsays #googlebound #googlelawnsculptures." Interesting...
