"Key Lime Pie will be the next sweet dessert in Google's sequence of Android OS names, according to a recent report.\nA \"reliable Google source\" provided the Key Lime Pie tip to The Verge, although the source had no information about when to expect an announcement, release or version number. \nAndroid's most recent release was Ice Cream Sandwich, first released in October 2011 on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.\nJelly Bean, the Android OS rumored to be next on deck, still hasn't been officially announced by Google. Android Director of Product Management Hugo Barra was mum when Mashable asked for a hint at details about the upcoming OS last week at Mobile World Congress.\nIn case you hadn't picked up on the theme, the Android OS names are alphabetical desserts: Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.0, 2.1), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.0) and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0). Unless you can think of a better \"K\" dessert name, we think Key Lime Pie is a pretty good bet. \nAnd this is where we think the real fun begins: try predicting the upcoming sequence of dessert-themed OS names. We're thinking Lollipop or Licorice for \"L,\" Marshmallow Fluff or Meringue for \"M\" and Nougat or Neapolitan for \"N.\" This game, of course, can go on and on. Share some of your favorite sweet predictions with us below.\nDo you think Android will ever sway from its dessert pattern? And will Apple give up on big cats for its OS names? Let us know what you think of these naming trends in the comments.\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, TheCrimsonMonkey"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
