Do you know
that Indians want Google to name the next version of their Android software as
Android 5 Ladoo? The announcement that Google has named its latest version of
Android software as Android KitKat has given rise to a discussion on what will
be the name for the next version of Android.
The web is full
of punters who have their own versions of what Google will name its next version
of Android. When so much is happening out there, how can you expect India to
keep quiet? After all, we are a country that has given the science of astrology
to this world but astrology has nothing to do with Google Android. However, it
is due to the popularity and goodwill that Google been receiving from a huge
population of India that Indians want Google to name the next version of
Android as Android 5 Ladoo.
Another strong
reason behind the plea of Indians to Google to name next Android version as
Android Ladoo is the fact that Google is solely dependent on sweets when it
comes to naming different versions of Android. This is clearly evident from the
Android versions they have named so far. It started with Android Cupcake
followed by Android Donut, and they released other versions in similar fashion
naming them as Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, honeycomb, Ice cream Sandwich, and
Android KitKat being the latest.
While some are
rooting for naming the new update as Ladoo, some others have a different name
suggestion all together. India’s most prestigious Indian Institute of
Technology is requesting Google to name it as “lassi” while a group of Indian tech
startups want the Google to name it as Android 5 Ladoo. Ladoo is an Indian
sweet while lassi is a yogurt based refreshing drink. Given the popularity of
the ‘ladoo’ in India, it does seem that the sweet will find more takers than
the drink.
The seriousness
of Android naming issue can be judged from the fact that students from IIT
Kharagpur have written an open letter to Google’s Sundar Pichai, who hails from
India and knows better about both Lassi and Ladoo. In this request letter,
Indians have argued about their support to Android operating system and this is
why they want Google to use an Indian dessert to name the upcoming version of
the Android software. As Sundar is an alumni of IIT Kharagpur, students have also
requested Sundar Pichai on grounds of taste and love he shares for the Indian
Ladoo and lassi.
The one thing
that everybody has forgotten is the fact that Google is moving fast towards
corporatization of Android naming ceremonies in the near future. So, there are
good chances that Google will come up with a special ‘L’ named product just to
name their next Android version and keep the Android Frenzy going.
That’s for the
Indian backing to having the Google Android 5 ‘Ladoo’. You can also extend your
support and request Google to name the next Android update as Android 5 Ladoo
by joining and becoming an active member of Android Ladoo Campaign.
