Android O launching on Monday; Might be named Oreo

Google has yet again proven how impromptu it works by announcing the launch of Android O in an event to celebrate the eclipse. The event will be happening in New York at 2:40 pm ET. It will also be live-streamed for viewers all around the globe. As you would have expected Google is pretty mum on the name especially when Pixel 2 is expected around the corner.

Previous rumours stated it might move from it naming scheme of sweet dishes as android's name. It is worth noting Google Eclipse page says “Android O is touching down to earth with the total solar eclipse, bringing some super (sweet) new powers!” So take that to mean whatever you will.

Google may have leaked the name unintentionally on Google+. A now deleted tweet — courtesy of Android Police — refers to a video file “GoogleOreo_Teaser_0817_noDroids (1).mp4”.

Whether they will be releasing the Android O or just stating its final name, or this is all just a part of an elaborate troll Google is famous for? We will have to wait and find out. This doesn't mean people aren't excited!

Also worth nothing the sun in the invitation image looks like a giant oreo biscuit.
