Android M, or Android Marshmallow, has now landed on Nexus devices and is slowly making its way across all of the Android world. The LG G4 now has Android Marshmallow, as does the HTC One M9 and HTC One A9, Motorola X (second edition), and Samsung has already started unrolling Marshmallow for the Galaxy Note 4 (if you can believe the Hungary users). Well, Android N is already becoming the talk of the Android world, as it seems that not even the best-named updates remain popular for too long. Next on the list is Android N, and, despite some names being tossed around for it (\u201cNutella,\u201d \u201cNougat,\u201d etc.), the latest news regarding the future update is that 1) it will likely be a result of a voter poll and 2) it could be named after an Indian dish, according to the words of now Google CEO Sundar Pichai.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we\u2019re working on the next release of Android, Android N, maybe we\u2019ll do an online poll of what the name should be,\u201d Pichai said to New Delhi\u2019s Shri Ram College of Commerce student body a few days ago. As for the name of the update, it could be an Indian delicacy. Pichai joked during his session with the commerce student body that he\u2019d ask his mother for suggestions, but he also said that \u201cAnd if all Indians vote, I think we can make (an Indian name) it happen,\u201d referring to the fact that India could very well influence (if not own) the next Android update.<\/p>\n
Should Indians own the next update, it would prove a major change for Android update nomenclature, seeing that all the update names up until now have been named after well-known American and international desserts: cupcake, doughnut, eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb, ice cream sandwich, jelly bean, kitkat, lollipop, and marshmallow. Regardless of the name of Android\u2019s next sweet treat, it\u2019s pretty sweet to think that one of India\u2019s own is now CEO of one of the top tech companies in the world \u2014 and that he\u2019d give his countrymen their fair shake in the mobile world.
