Hi @MI5,

Would you like me to open up your rights to edit this post long-term? You could update with what you find out. Entirely up to you

Thanks for the info. The chat bots do look interesting...though one can only hope they are immune to hacking..

Tay Bot was a bit of a disaster for Microsoft back in April

I'm thinking we might find out what 'N' will become. Any guesses?

As much as a couple of members would like, it won't be Nigella

Nutella......

I'm not sure they will want to align the OS with a branded product again. Not even certain they sell Nutella in the US. I certainly don't ever remember seeing it. I'm thinking Nougat or I've also seen New York Cheesecake as a possibilty.

Most rumours are Nutella and Nougat. Internally it is apparently known as New York Cheesecake but that is a bit of a mouthful, excuse the pun

MI5 — Wed, 18 May 2016 16:27:32 GMT

It's also a bit USA specific - there are many people WW who wouldn't want anything to do with NYC on their phone.

Top billing is bound to be rollout of Android pay to UK, a key step for Googles NFC pay service and obvious timing.

Re: I/O 2016 Starts Today

Cleoriff — Wed, 18 May 2016 16:58:00 GMT

It could also be Nut Roll, Neenish Tart or Noodle Pudding.....all sweets, chocolates or desserts http://phandroid.com/2015/12/17/android-n-dessert-name-poll/
