How would you like an Android 5.0 Lemon Cake?

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Before Google released its new OS in the past, they usually drop hints here and there as to what the next name and version would be. Well during yesterday’s I/O event while Google was giving a preview of what the new look for the Android “L” would be like, they showed off the “anatomy of a notification”. Along with it comes a sample message that talks about specifically bringing home a lemon cake. Could this be a clue to the new Android name?

As the sample Google used shows, some guy named Daniel is bringing home his homemade lemon cake. Lemon Cake. So it starts with an “L”, is also a sweet dessert, and has the right ring to it and could work as the new OS name. The folks over at Android Guys could be on to something here, but they can also just be looking into it too much.

Where would you place your bets, though? So far there’s also Lollipop and Lasagna in our possible list of the next Android update. Can you guys think of other possible names for it?
