occasional opinionated thoughts from an app store curmudgeon

Update: We’re hearing from another well-regarded source that Jelly Bean is in the running for the name, but that the choice hasn’t yet been finalized by Google; for what it’s worth, the pickings are fairly slim for desserts with “J” names, so Jelly Bean seems like a solid choice.
LOL on so many counts. An “exclusive” story on the name “Jelly Bean” that needed an “update” so perhaps it’s not so “exclusive”.
Wake me up when they get to “S” in the nomenclature. My vote will be for: Shit Sandwich.
