Android O finally gets its name in a couple of hours — but we already know what it's going to be
Android O will finally get named in a few hours.
How do we know? Because Google put up a countdown clock for the big reveal coinciding with the solar eclipse. Oh, we wonder what it could be?
All signs suggest it'll definitely be called Oreo, as we previously reported, but the big question now is if Google and Nabisco will use the special once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event to announce a new flavor of Oreo. At this point, anything's possible.

But if you're still hoping for Android O to be called something else, you can probably kiss those dreams goodbye.
Phone leaker Evan Blass have even posted an image of Android mascot Andy with an Oreo for its body, all but confirming that this will be the name.

Yeah...it's gonna be called Oreo. But we'll know for sure (like, for real this time) in a just a couple of hours. So in the meantime, just remember if you plan to celebrate by observing the actual eclipse, don't look directly into the sun and make sure you're wearing special glasses designed to protect your eyes from the sun. Or if you're as excited as you, you can watch the official countdown timer here.
