Froyo Snackins

It took careful explanation by a "fandroid" over lunch one day to understand Froyo, Gingerbread, and Ice Cream Sandwich.  Are they even trying?  Is there a dartboard somewhere in Google headquarters with a dessert menu stapled to it?

If you struggle like me with all the TOMS shoe-wearing meme-ery going on around the Android camp, you'll be happy to know that each subsequent "major" version of an Android operating system gets a new name, and each new name starts with the next letter in the alphabet.  Froyo begat Gingerbread, which begat Ice Cream Sandwich (F-G-I).

Given that, the next Android OS name will begin with a "J", the one after that a "K", and so on.  Which got me to thinking...if I were to be as dopey as possible, what names would I come up with for future Android releases?

The following is the fruit of that labor.

• J - tough call, but either Jelly Roll or Jujube
• K - should be Key Lime Pie, but with these people you might well get Kaiserschmarrn
• L - Ladyfinger?  Maybe, but that ruins tiramisu later.  I'm going with Lemon Bar
• M - Mincemeat Pie.  Yes, going for stupid intentionally.  Tough to out-stupid "Froyo".
• N - They like cold stuff don't they.  Neapolitan Sundae?
• O - would ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE Oreo Cookie, but if that would cost them a cent, you'll get Orange Sherbet and like it.
• P - Peanut Butter Fudge
• Q - um, let's hope the next great thing is out by then.

Happy Friday.
