Android 10 name

...is apparently "Android 10".

Google are claiming that it's because they've received feedback that "the dessert names are not universally understood in different cultures and different languages". The cynic in me notes that this only seems to have become a problem when they struggled to find one that was widely understood in the USA...

"Queen of Puddings" would be understood in the USA, yes?

I thought X is the one that would cause problems for them.

They could just do what Ubuntu did: start over.

Ubuntu's first release was Warty Warthog; their second, and my first, was Hoary Hedgehog. Then they rewound, and started releasing names alphabetically, starting with Breezy Badger. It worked for them.

Since Mike mentioned "X". I'll add that ubuntu also had "Xenial Xerus" which was 16.04.

I guess animal names are easier than desserts.

I can't wait for the android 10 update. Glad my phone is on the list to get it.

I'm running 10. Have to admit that as a user it's not so different, though the dark theme (black rather than "meh grey" thankfully) and finer permission control are nice.

The gestures aren't well designed (they slow app switching as well as interfering with side menus), and some crazy idea of integration with their own launcher means that the home gesture doesn't work with anything else. Allegedly this will change some time after the release, but they are definitely not good enough to suffer the Pixel launcher in order to have them.
