Now you must be wondering why it is the CDE s instead of the standard ABC s when discussing Android. This is not about the basic ABCs of Android. Rather it is about the Google Android version alphabet. We are still searching for the answer to why A and B have been missed (but we have a guess*) and you are most welcome to share any info on that.
Down below is how Google alphabetically and interestingly introduced their Android versions.
C for Cupcake
D for donut
E for Éclair
F for Froyo
G for Gingerbread
H for honeycomb
I for Ice cream sandwich
J for jelly bean
And K for Key lime pie
Now we will discuss flavor and taste of the desserts from C to J which are already served on the table while waiting to discuss about dessert K which Google is still cooking inside the oven…

*’A’ for Apple pie and ‘B’ for Banana Bread? Since Google is silent on this, we are really not sure though.
Any guesses of the features of the dessert in the oven, the Android Key Lime Pie?
cool! good to know.
[…] take a break and look at our previous article on the different features of Android […]
A & B are also there they are:
A= Alpha android
B= Beta Android
I cant rember the versions 😀
And K not for Key lime pie its just a code name to hide the real name until the real version is released which is KITKAT
