It's fun to try to guess which sweet will inspire Google this time around, but I warn you, this year will be more complicated than usual. Can you think of[font color="#272526"]any sweets starting with Q?[div align="left"][font color="#000000"]Google released Android Q's third beta earlier this week at Google I/O, its annual developer conference, but we're no closer to knowing Google's plans for its full name. Since 2009, Google has historically named its operating systems after desserts (Android 1.5 Cupcake), but there aren't many sweet treats starting with Q. Even Wikipedia is at a loss.[/div][div align="left"][font color="#000000"][br][/div][div align="center"][a href="https://c.mi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2151810&aid=4218621&from=album&page=1"][img id="aimg_4218621" width="772" height="430" src="https://u01.appmifile.com/images/2019/05/12/534b6ad6-b8cd-495b-b6ee-7f56b420b498.png" alt="AddText_05-12-11.40.52.PNG" title="AddText_05-12-11.40.52.PNG"][/a][/div][p][font color="#000000"]"We're superexcited about the desserts,[font color="#ff0000"][strong]"Sameer Samat,[/strong][font color="#000000"]said Google's vice president of product management for Android and Play. "At the same time, Q is a hard letter. But we're looking at it." Naming[font color="#000"]Google's mobile OS after desserts may not seem like a big deal, but it plays into Google's image. Adopting a lighthearted naming convention was one way for Google to define its then-new OS.[p][br][font color="#000000"]Compared with the stodgy naming conventions of[strong]Microsoft's[/strong]Windows Phone and Windows Mobile software and even Apple's straightforward approach, Google's embrace of desserts signaled that the company is fun, and that phonesare for everyone, not just geeks who can't get enough of software versioning.[br][div align="center"][a href="https://c.mi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2151810&aid=4218619&from=album&page=1"][img id="aimg_4218619" width="772" height="430" src="https://u01.appmifile.com/images/2019/05/12/661ed7cd-74c5-4b1e-8969-bfdbdcfde271.png" alt="AddText_05-12-11.41.27.PNG" title="AddText_05-12-11.41.27.PNG"][/a][/div][p][font color="#000000"]Over the years, some Android dessert names were easy to get your head around, like Android 2.2 Froyo, but others have been harder to swallow, like 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Google has also been known to get around a tricky naming situation by partnering with known brands, as with Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 8.0 Oreo.[p][font color="#000000"]Google doesn't typically announce the final name of its next Android operating system until closer to its release. Last year, that announcement for Android Pie occurred on Aug. 6. If Google follows the same pattern this year, it won't have long to settle on a name before making Android Q official.[font color="#000000"][br][br][br][h5][a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/what-would-you-name-android-q-google-says-this-ones-hard/" target="_blank"]Source[/a][/h5] |
