Android users who have had their fill of Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich may have a new snack to munch on this fall.
According to a report from VR-Zone.com, Google is preparing to launch Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie in late October.
Citing unnamed sources, the site said the next-generation mobile operating system will be an "optimized OS" that performs well on devices with as little as 512MB, suggesting that it will have a smaller footprint that will allow it to function on a variety of devices with lower-power processors.
Google did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment.
Leaked slides from a February Qualcomm presentation tipped a springtime arrival for the next Android operating system. But Google's I/O developer conference came and went without mention of Key Lime Pie, and summer is fast approaching, so we might be waiting until October.
As several Android sites pointed out, October is also the fifth anniversary of the launch of the first Android-based phone, the T-Mobile G1, aka the HTC Dream. So perhaps it'll be pie instead of cake for this particular milestone.
Might the launch of Key Lime Pie coincide with the debut of the Moto X smartphone from the Google-owned Motorola Mobility? At the D11 conference last month, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside promised that the anticipated smartphone would arrive by October.
The most recent version of Android, Jelly Bean, was unveiled at Google I/O 2012, while Ice Cream Sandwich debuted during an Oct. 2011 event in Hong Kong.

At this point, 33 percent of Android devices are running Jelly Bean, while 25.6 percent run ICS, and 36.5 percent run Gingerbread, according to Google stats published on June 3.
