Android 7.0 Narkeler naru? Nellikai Kneer? Narikol Laur? During a Thursday Q&A at Delhi University, Google CEO Sundar Pichai fielded questions about his personal journey, his career, and Google. But attendees were also curious why the Android operating system has never been named after an Indian dessert.
"Like N for nan khatai, N for neyyappam," one man proposed (about 47 minutes into the video below). "Or maybe P for peda."The suggestion was met by thunderous applause and laughter. "When I meet my mom I'll ask her for suggestions," Pichai responded.
The CEO also suggested that Google might be open to some input from fans when it comes to Android naming. "Maybe what I'll do next time, when we are working on the next release of Android—Android N—maybe we'll do an online poll on what the name should be. And if all the Indians vote..." he said, pausing for applause, "I think we can make it happen."
The latest version of Android, Marshmallow, arrived this fall, a follow-up to Lollipop. Typically, the decision about which treat to name its operating system after has been left up to those at Google. But there are likely a few diehard fans who'd be more than willing to tell the search giant whether it should go with Android Nutella, Nutmeg, Nouget, or Neyyappam.
