We handed X to Amit Singhal in person and also campaigned outside your Android building in Mountain View. But alas, you've decided to name the next version of Android as Kit Kat. We are Indians. We have a big heart. We understand that there might be commercial pressures to do so. Or may be our voices were just not loud enough to make X Android a reality. We still love Android and we are committed to see a version of Android that is dedicated after an Indian sweet. With enough advance notice this time, we request you to name the next version of Android as Y.

We love Y, and we're sure you will too! So, to make this deal sweeter, we are sending your team a box of Y very soon :)
