As far as I know, that is a trademarked name. Google is really scraping the bottom of the barrel if it cannot come up with further generic sweet/desert names.

Don't forget google makes most of its money from advertising. Nestlé and Google are in cahoots here. Kit Kat came out with a funny parody video today even.

They already talked to Nestle about this and they got their blessing.  In fact they are both agreed to run a promotion to win a google tablets, google play cards and free kitkats in the wrapper and have a website to promote it as well.  Google is not that dumb to use a name knowing that is clearly trademarked.  

 

If the Google legal counsel didn't raise that concern when they first discussed this and got their ducks lined up prior to public release of the next Android version, they should all be fired.

Snickers? Peanut Butter Cup? :lol:

Well we gotta get to L and M first before those. But yeah this opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

 

Funny cause android versions were originally named after pop culture androids/robots but licensing proved to be a problem so they scrapped that. And now we're back.

Dammit, I wanted key lime pie... I don't even like kit kats!

 

Me too! I actually like Kit Kats just fine, but I enjoy Key Lime Pie much more. Maybe they'll go with just "Lime Pie" for the L-release/Android 5.0...

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
