A non-generic brand name for their O-release? Did they strike a deal with Nabisco/Cadbury? I can't imagine Google doing this without some form of legal go-ahead from the trademark owner.
"The world's favorite cookie" right in the first caption. Almost subliminal images of Oreos in the background as you scroll.
Project Treble is the most important thing in this release >The biggest change to the foundations of Android to date: a modular architecture that makes it easier and faster for hardware makers to deliver Android updates. With any luck, this will end the huge security/update problem Android has. Right now an update is dependent on the chip manufacturer's drivers, then the OEM adding them to the ROM with their custom "…
Or even if just gets the chip manufacturers out of the equation, that alone fixes most of the problems. The OEM side is usually pretty easy / trivial in comparison. And there are a number of OEMs who would happily push updates but can't, because they can't get hardware packages from Qualcomm / Amlogic / Freescale / etc. That, more than anything else, holds back new Android releases on lots of hardware.
It's a game I wish they'd get out of entirely. There's no such thing as a useful carrier overlay.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Of course. Would be interesting to know what the exact quid pro quo is for deals like this though (who pays whom, and how much, etc.).
Yeah, I wonder which brand benefits more from this. I would imagine Oreo since there are far more cookie brands than mobile OS's.
Oreo will receive "free" marketing, but now will have to share the name with a version of a mobile OS.

Oreo must have payed a good sum of money I suppose?
Coming up with the legalese on how and where Google is allowed to use the Oreo trademark seems difficult.

Disclosure: I have worked for a JWT subsidiary at the time.
> Android Oreo helps minimize background activity in the apps you use least, it's the super power you can't even see. I'm looking forward to this. It seemed to me in the switch from iOS to Android that the battery life definitely suffered. I wish the Samsung Galaxy's "ultra power saver mode" was available in more devices. The "battery saver mode" in my current Android phone is decent but doesn't seem as effective. >…
>Gee, I've never heard of "Mopria" but this sounds interesting. 97% of printers sold now - the initiative happened in 2014, and I assume that it took manufacturers a few years to ramp. So probably don't expect it to work with your 5 year old all-in-one.
