If you were in any doubt that the next iteration of Android was going to be called Key Lime Pie, this cute little comic charting the evolution of Android, from Google’s own Manu Cornet, should put that to rest.
Of course, we’re told we shouldn’t read anything into this, and it’s just for fun, but surely coming straight out of the insides of Google pretty much nails it. Maybe Key Lime Pie will finally unify Android, and vanquish fragmentation. Ha, that’ll be the day. [Robot Evolution via Cnet]
I still reckon it’s a truly awful name though.
I had to (amusingly) google it to find out what the hell it was.
It is either that or Kulfi, and at least it is better than replacing C with K – Kandy Kane, Kornetto, Kustard Kream…
It is most definitely not a Kulfi. It looks nothing like a Kulfi. Besides it is not frozen. Kulfi is dense & creamy.
I know, I meant the name of a dessert beginning with K, not the dessert shown in the image.
Aye, they should had named it Kulfi instead!
That evolution pic is awesome and quite realistic too.
I reckon of iOS had a mascot, it’d be the same but in reverse.
Just sayin’
All these version come and go still on Gingerbread
. Hmmm.
That’s still delicious though
I dream of the day I am on gingerbread. I’m still on Eclair.
Except of course that Manu Cornet works on Gmail not Android, so isn’t exactly well placed to know what the next version of Android is going to be called. However KLP has been the rumoured name for the next version of Android for some time, since there are few other K desserts out there.
I’m waiting for the version of this where he just gets more and more obese. Perhaps the final version has him driving round in a mobility scooter.
I was just thinking that
No wonder Android is getting fatter.
Google needs to switch to low calorie alternatives, like celery and stuff. Starting from ‘A’, I dunno, Apple? An Apple has only around 50 calories.
100g of apple has 50 calories whereas an apricot would have around 24 calories per 100g so that would be the better option.
If it was going healthy, it could’ve done a lot worse than:
Apricot, Blueberry, Cherry, Damson, Elderberry, Fig, Guava, Ilama, Jambul, Kiwifruit, Lychee
For a real low calorie alternative you can’t beat ‘Air’ and besides, the poor guy is probably sick of fruit after all the blackberry market share he consumed.
Maybe not that sick of fruit, since now he is going for that apple share too.
True, too much blackberry can not be a good thing. But even blackberry only has, what, 65 calories? Compare that to the 500 calories of a key lime pie
The problem is not the calories, these blackberries were well past their sell by date, Mind you, the Apple’s that my astute colleague points out he has now started on aren’t much fresher.
Yeah but one apple a day the doctor keeps away.
It’s not like 25 calories make that much of a difference anyway, especially if you cut down on the gingerbreads and ice cream sandwiches.
Apples are bad, mmmkay.
Should they really be boasting about this? There are old phones still stuck on the top row!
Ketamine?
Well now that’s sorted time to start guessing at L – I’m rooting for lollypop
My bet is Lemon Cheesecake. Not sure why, but they seem to be going for multiple words now…
Ooooh good call; some other options that have come to me – lemon drizzle cake, Lemon Curd or my new favourite lemon syllabub but that’s mainly because syllabub is fun to say.
