Matthew  yes, that's the point. They said they would pronounce "aluminum" as it is the "correct" way to say it.

Or maybe I misunderstood what they meant...

Douglas  you were talking about "correctness". Both are correct. It was changed in the USA, but that doesn't make the UK version wrong

For this product though, there is only one spelling possible. It's a brand name

I think the one positive this brings into the future is that the evolution of this branch of Android will make the main version have a more consistent natively available desktop mode. I'd love to see more desktop mode launchers like Samsung Dex and Motorola Smart Connect, but in a way you can actually choose the mobile and desktop launchers separately.

When would this be useful on a phone? Think of people who wouldn't usually need a dedicated PC. People who may just want to do shopping or browsing or watching YouTube on a bigger screen. No need to buy a separate device that costs double the price of the very capable phone they already have in their pockets. Just a monitor and a bt keyboard/mouse

Douglas I'm sorry to pop your bubble, but it's a Latin derivative word. To look for the most consistent spelling for the word, you should look back into what it used to look like.

That being said, both are correct in your language. It's just that in the USA you changed the word and removed that "I". American English evolved in a different way from European English. None are wrong. It's just that the European spelling is more historically consistent.
