Soon after at Google I/O upon revealing many other details about Android N, the search giant also revealed a website where users could head to enter what they think would be the perfect name for Android's next update.https://twitter.com/Android/status/740568083446648832From Italian Nutella to Indian Nankhatai, Google has been receiving plenty of entries and has been pushing out plenty of teasers related to the same.
