‘Android Kitkat’ Google’s next version of Andriod

Google’s andriod and Chrome head Sundar Pichai has confirmed that next vesion of Google’s Android will be called as ‘Android Kitkat’.

What comes to your mind first, is this sweet Nestle Kitkat choclate candy bar?

Earlier Google decided to call new android as Key Lime Pie, but the company decided to go for another name after realizing that “very few people actually know the taste of a key lime pie,” said director of Android partnerships John Lagerling.

In a Google+ post sundar Pichai Says:

Just back from a whirlwind trip to Asia visiting our Android ecosystem partners in Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Exciting to see all the high quality Android devices available now, including Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, LG G2, Sony Xperia and many more. Also looking forward to the new devices our partners are launching in Berlin at IFA, played around with them last week and really nice — stay tuned; we’ve got a lot more coming!

All this Android innovation is driving tremendous ecosystem momentum and I’m excited to share that together we’ve now passed 1 Billion Android device activations. Huge thanks to the entire Android community from the hardware manufacturers, chip makers and carriers to the developers and content creators to all of you – our Android users around the world – for making this possible.

On my return from Asia, I was also thrilled to find this guy waiting to greet me on the front lawn — love the new #AndroidKitKat statue and can’t wait to release the next version of the platform that is as sweet as the candy bar that’s one of our team’s favorites:)

“it’s our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody.” says Google.

Director of Android marketing Marc Vanlerberghe, said that they couldn’t imagine a better name for Android K release than the tasty chocolate that’s been a favourite among the team since the early days of Android.

While Nestle’s head of marketing, Patrice Bula, said that they were excited to announce this partnership with Android, the world’s most popular mobile platform, which will help them to enable even more KitKat fans to enjoy their break,
