The next-version of Android is right here. And the next iteration looks refreshing and comes loaded with cool improvements.

Tentatively titled as ‘L’, the name has got everyone guessing game its name.

The company will release the developer preview later today and will probably christen it when the first official devices running it finally arrive later this year.

While names like lollipop, lemonhead and licorice are being tossed around, Indians are expecting it to be named after their desi sweet like Laddu or Ladoo.

In fact, last year a group of students from IIT-Kharagpur – which also happens to be Pichai’s alma mater – had lobbied for the next version of Android to be named Lassi.

HTC has quickly put out an image showing several options to consider from including lemon meringue, lady fingers, lava cake and even lemonade.

There are some who also feel, the name is ‘L’ itself, while others think the company is buying time to fetch a sponsored brand.

The Indian Twitrrerati is rooting for Ladoo, while some are ripping into the name, saying Ladoo’s updates would be called Motichur, Boondi, etc. Some others are busying joking around the L itself…as in L for Loser.

For now, we can wait and wonder until Google drops us the new name.
