Google's SVP Sundar Pichai has
just confirmed -- by way of a
photo -- that the next version of
Android is named KitKat (rather
than the rumored "Key Lime
Pie ") aka version 4.4. The exec
shared this geeky nugget on
both Google+ and Twitter, while
his company has updated the
Android developer site with a
page chronicling Android's
milestones so far. While details
are light at the moment, Google
teases its upcoming release with
the following line:
"It's our goal with
Android KitKat to
make an amazing
Android experience
available for
everybody."
Pichai also announced that there
are now over one billion
Android device activations,
surpassing the 900 million mark
back in May this year.

Though they dont gave more info but still this is huge announcement for android lovers

Special Android-branded KitKat
packaging is heading to stores,
and you could win a Nexus 7 or
Google Play credit by checking
the wrapper. So, no Google isn't
going off the reservation and
stealing a trademarked name.
KitKat is working with Mountain
View, but Google has said that
neither Nestle nor Google paid
the other for this arrangement.
The contest will be offering up
1000 Nexus 7 tablets, 150,000 $5
Google Play credits, and 20,000
coupons for a free bag of 8 ounce
bag of Kit Kat Minis. It all kicks
off September 6th and runs
through January 31, 2014.

i think people need time to recover from this huge change

KLP is out of the question now. K is for KitKat in Android Book.

I think google is not paying anything...
both companies will get profit by promoting each other

KitKat has allowed Google to use the name as it also helps them in advertising

So will that mean next version of android after 4.4 will be called 4.5 Lindt ?

John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships, confessed to BBC that the Android 4.4 release was initially planned to be indeed called Key Lime Pie but sometime late last year, they decided to switch to the chocolate bar name.

samsung/sony/htc will modify UI viz. touchwiz and sense 5 UI and it takes time...
currently afaik galaxy nexus, nexus 4, 7,7.2, 10 got 4.3 update and it isnt that much stable, too much bugs:sly:

htc one will get 4.3 within 5-10 days

Wrong question.... U should ask how many devices even got 4.2.2 ??

So what even HTC explorer got 4.3 by CM

“Have a break, have a [broken Samsung Galaxy S3]”.
Nokia tweets aggressive KitKat parody, takes a dig at Samsung, Google

4.4 may turn out to be a mid size update like Android 2.2 to 2.3 change. not ground breaking but surely not a joke that was called Android 4.3.

4.3 has improved battery backup so it's not a joke for sure.

I love these two.

btw sohn papdi != shrikhand. They're totally different.

Maybe Sundar Pichai (SVP at google, who oversees Android/Chrome/Google Apps and an Indian) wants to pay a homage to Android, with the popular product of India..
