    Google loves to make a big splash when it reveals the name for the latest version of Android. But the company is going all out this year, using the solar eclipse as an opportunity to reveal that Android O will henceforth be referred to as Oreo.

        It's probably one of those fake Oreos where the stuffing is barely there and the cookie is stale. (I still marvel at just how bad Android is after 14 releases.)

          I wonder if they are paying oreo to use the name or if oreo will sue them for copyright damage

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            I know they did some kind of licensing arrangement for Nutella, so I'd be surprised if they didn't do the same here. Yeah, Nabisco would be coming at them pretty hard if not.

              This will last about 5 minute until [Nabisco ](http://www.oreo.com/) sues them for using their product name.

              If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

                For the record, my phone doesn't care - it's still stuck on "Marshmallow". :sigh: (Not sure whether to blame Samsung or O2. But either way, it's a poor show, given the phone was only released this April.)

                  I've always found the naming system more than a little bit silly (Froyo and Ice Cream Sandwich were particularly lame names) and this is the second time they've had to do a corporate tie-in to keep the daftness going. Aside from the obviously tricky Q, U, V and Z, what do they intend to do when they hit the end of the alphabet? My suggestion would be to rename Android to Android Type 2 as a nod to the diabetes-inducing properties of previous versions. At that point they can restart with Amputation, Blindness, Care Home, Death, Emergency Room, Failing Kidneys and so forth, giving them at least a couple of years to come up with a better plan. Why can't they just use sensible sequential version names like Microsoft do? You know the sort of thing - XBox, XBox 360, XBox 1 ...

                  98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

                    They also licensed KitKat when that was a thing.

                      Right, that's the one I was thinking of, not Nutella.
