The site features a clock which provides the countdown to the android o reveal, and after that is a text inviting people to meet for the reveal of Android’s super (sweet) new powers. But is this text enough to give us a clue that next Android name is going to be a sweet edible item like Oreo, or is it something else like Octopus.

The site also features a tool which gives users a view of how the solar eclipse will be visible from their place. Users can enter their location and an animated moon will cover the sun giving an idea of what the eclipse is going to be like. Then there is a Google Assistant demo giving you answers for some predefined questions regarding solar eclipse and along with all this, there are couple more tools present on the site.

Well the site does not offer any clue on what’s the name for next Android is going to be (except for the above-mentioned statement), it is primarily focused on a solar eclipse and provides insights about it.
