Why can't Android do what Windows did until 2007. Words e.g. XP (eXPerience), Vista, Me (Millennium Edition) as they have quit with desserts. Smartphones are on the same level of dead as FIFA has been since 18.

                  The focus should be on developing and bringing Fuchsia to the market soon

                    About time, the cute quirky names are just that, they aren't professional sounding and just seemed dumb.

                    Harmony could be called oppression os , seeing as we are still using stupid names.

                        The real thing behind this is the fact that there is no dessert that starts with Q.... maybe in other languages. Therefore, simplifying things by naming it with its current version was the best solution.

                            Android has gone downhill since the marshmallow. Now it's more like ios i miss the ice cream sandwich days when you felt you have a true alternative

                                anan, 22 Aug 2019It was actually a nice naming scheme. Now it has become soulless.Actually, that is soulless, it's only OS

                                  Anonymous, 22 Aug 2019Yes, that's exactly what they're doing...can Apple fans be ... morelike android fan didnt do the same huh ?

                                    Well personally, I never really liked the desert based names. I appreciate this move by google.

You are making "growing up" ... moreAndroid back then is being quirky with the dessert names because they want to be different enough to attract new crowds. They are an empire now so it's time to get rid of that.
