      "This is being done to make the names more accessible across more markets, as previously not everyone was familiar with the names that Google chose."
      a.k.a.
      people who couldn't understand engrisho made a fuss despite the software programmed in english anyway. el goog shld go ahead and remove the Q itself then.

              And even adroid had many versions like 4.1 jelly bean and 4.4 kit kat etc.
              By the way Android same as Microsoft windows both are US company and for next cooperation there is a possibility that android 10 will be last android.
              From this same like windows just install new updates and patches but the 10 will remain.

                              Apple always envy the google fan base and more free apps.
                              Even developers likes google much more for being user friendly OS where is no judge who deciding you can have or cant have an app here and takes 100 from you every annum.

I don't even care if it's in alphabetical order, just keep naming new Android OS versions after sweets! Now it's like every other OS, which isn't necessarily bad, but it sure is boring. And what's so bad about an American company naming their software after American desserts? If you don't know what it is or how to pronounce it then Google it lol.
