It's been confirmed that Big G will announce a new version of its Android operating system and that the latest installment will feature a nickname that starts with the letter "L."

Senior Vice President of Google, Sundar Pichai has indicated that he will preview the newest Android OS during Google's keynote tomorrow. This is a fresh move for the Mountain View company. The next major Android updated isn't expected to drop until later in the year, and this is the first time that Google has previewed its operating system so early on. Apple has made a similar move with the announcement of iOS 8, so this might be Google's way of trying to steal or match the thunder that the Cupertino-based tech company has created recently.

I/O is Google's developer's conference, so expect the announcements to reveal a lot of exciting new tools for developers to use in the latest Android build. Another interesting preview tomorrow will be Android Wear, Google's take on the wearable market. Expect to see new devices, as well as manufacturing partners who will be getting in on the wearable action.

Think it will be called Lime or Key Lime.

V5 Android should support 64bit and ART natively instead of the Dalvik cache. So there are some big things for V5 it seems! :D
 
I am excited. Makes me very happy to own a Nexus 5, 7 and 10. Although I doubt my old Nexus 7 would see such an update. Hopeful though.

Should be called Lollipop. If Google gets their way, it will be another release of KitKat.
 
Have they added that thing yet where third party customizations is just a "skin" and not part of the OS?
 
Cant be Key Lime Pie - it must start with L. I guess Lemon meringue or Lemon meringue pie
 
What was going to be Key Lime Pie ended up being KitKat. We've had a ton of Jellybean versions but I guess if they go to 5.0 then it will be a L name. Liquorice sounds quite plausible.
