Google will preview its next
Android update at the Google
I/O conference in San
Francisco this morning, and
according to sources familiar
with its plans, it'll be called
Android 5.0 "Lollipop."
Google has named its
Android releases after tasty
treats since the platform's
inception, and with every
major release, it uses the next
letter in the alphabet. It began
with Android 1.5 Cupcake,
which was followed by Donut,
then Eclair, Froyo,
Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice
Cream Sandwich, and Jelly
Bean.
Last year's release was
Android 4.4 KitKat, so this
year's will almost certainly
begin with the letter L. And
according to sources for
Belgian blog Nixanbal, the
name Google has chosen is
Lollipop.
Lollipop is expected to bring
design changes and new
features to the Android
platform, but Google has done
an excellent job of keeping
those under wraps ahead of
their official unveiling.
Although we have seen a
couple of leaked screenshots
believed to be from Android
5.0, they reveal very little about
what the update will bring.
Google is also expected to
announce Android TV and
update us on Android Wear
and Google Glass during its
keynote today. It kicks off at 9
a.m. Pacific, and you can
