Google trolls, as android N's release draws closers.

Android N

Tech giants, Google Inc., are not new to the "I will blow your mind" ministry. They have been doing this consistently for a while now, with practically all their products.

Early in March, Google revealed to the world that their latest version - the 7th one, of the linux based, android OS would be called android N, a follow-up to the previous android M.

It's surprising, as the Android M in its awesomeness, has not been fully implemented into the smartphone-osphere, with very few mobile devices running official Marshmellow updates, about 7.5%. However with rivals Apple, Inc., chasing right at their tail, one can understand why.

Ever since the name "Android N" was announced, there has been a kind-of mystery, somewhat, as to what the N could stand for. At the just concluded Google I/O we where informed that the guys at google were feeling rather lazy in naming the latest version and that they wanted to crowd source name ideas for the android version.



The senior vice president of Android, Hiroshi Lockheiner has joined the band-wag by dropping hints about possible Android N names via several tweets from posting pictures of restaurant menus to sharing screenshots where the name Nutella glaringly mentioned.

Google up-ed the tease when it dropped an Easter Egg with the latest developer preview of the Android N, calling it Android Namey McNameface.





Is the man with possibly the final say as to what the android version will be called, trolling? or could this be a hint that the guys at google are going with the name Nutella?  What do you think? Kindly let us know in the comment section.
