Ever since the debut of the name change by Google to Google Play for the former Android Market, I've been wondering if this is the end for the little green robot.
At least as the mascot.
I've read reports around the web about the majority of people not knowing that they actually use an Android powered product. And I can see how that may be the case for some. Especially considering the whole 'Droid' vs Android debacle.
Is Google making ready to move away from a sort of vague brand to their own self branded name?
Google OS?
I know that may sound crazy, but I could see how it could be a good thing. Humor me for a moment.
Google is the number 1 search engine right? Most people know the Google name and associate it with Maps, Gmail, Navigation, web, Talk and even to a lesser extent, Google Plus.
So why not change the OS name? More people would immediately recognize it and with the name intergration of the app, game, book and movie hub, people could associate all these things together and further push the brand and lock people in as iOS does for Apple.
Who thinks this would be a good idea, or am I just tripping?
