Android N is now Android Nougat, not Nutella

Today, Google announced on snapchat that the official name for Android N, the latest version of Android will be Android Nougat.This is the first time that Google took suggestions from public, but also said that it reserved the right for choosing the name. Introducing #AndroidNougat .
