Google has a new Android statue on its campus, and it's quite different from its predecessor.
The new statue, Google's Paul Wilcox notes, is mounted on Building 45 -- one of the buildings near the center of Google's campus in Mountain View, Calif.
Unlike the "standard," green Android statue on campus, the new one is metallic -- or chrome plated. This lead some of the commenters on Wilcox's Google+ profile to question whether the new statue is a hint for a new version of Android, or perhaps some sort of Chrome-Android integration, but Wilcox himself dispelled that rumor in a comment.
"I'm not a coder, I'm a user-facing person who talks to people about Android stuff and shares their feedback with the product team. To be clear, this post is a little tongue-in-cheek and is not meant to be a sneaky announcement of a new version of Android. It is, however, an announcement of a new statue," he wrote.
Google is known for setting up Android-related statues with each new version of the Android OS. Besides the green Android robot statue, the company has a statue of a gingerbread man, a piece of honeycomb an ice cream sandwich and some jelly beans.
