Google's next Android update, coyly dubbed M, has been given an official name. Initially revealed at the companys I/O 2015 confernece last month, Google has been keeping the operating systems name to themselves until now and now we know the M stands for Marshmallow.
Along with the reveal Android's VP of Engineering Dave Burke, tweeted out a picture of a statue made to commemorate Android Marshmallow's unveiling, which has also been revealed to be version 6.0 of the operating system.
With the official name, Google is also releasing the final version of the M Developer Preview software, as well as the official Android 6.0 SDK IGN reports. Google explains that these are still just previews saying, "although the Android 6.0 SDK is final, the devices system images are still developer preview versions. The preview images are near final but they are not intended for consumer use."
The technical jargon of the announcement, along with the name, were shared on Android’s Developer blog:
Whether you like them straight out of the bag, roasted to a golden brown exterior with a molten center, or in fluff form, who doesn’t like marshmallows? We definitely like them! Since the launch of the M Developer Preview at Google I/O in May, we’ve enjoyed all of your participation and feedback. Today with the final Developer Preview update, we’re introducing the official Android 6.0 SDK and opening Google Play for publishing your apps that target the new API level 23 in Android Marshmallow.
The new Android Marshmallow OS will launch later this year.
