Google has launched a website to crowd-source names for the next Android N oprating system (OS). The only limitation to the suggestions is that it has to be a the name of a sweet since all the previous names have been deserts.

On his visit to India last year, Sundar Pichai suggested accepting public suggestions for the next version of Android when asked why one of them didn't have an Indian name. Now a Bangalore-based app developer, Arun Kumar is trying to get that done by suggesting Indians to lobby for Android Neyyappam as the name for Google's upcoming smartphone OS.
