&quot;It&#x27;s our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody.&quot;<p>&quot;It&#x27;s our goal with iOS 7 to make an amazing iOS experience available for everybody.&quot;<p>&quot;It&#x27;s our goal with Windows Phone 8 to make an amazing Windows Phone experience available for everybody.&quot;

Apparently naming rights to future Android versions are for sale? Lindt, M&amp;M, Necco, Oreo...

The BBC article on the deal has more details and quotes from those involved: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23926938" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;technology-23926938</a>

Hmmmm, really nice product placement, and the Google Play credit inside the chocolate bars are a nice touch.<p>Is it me or ... they are actually targeting children&#x2F;teenagers ? Clever move.

Product placement, or just failure to think of deserts starting with &#x27;K&#x27;?

Key Lime Pie would have been better. I don&#x27;t have a problem with the name or Nestle getting on board, though if 4.4 turns out to be horrible they&#x27;re going to regret the tie-in. I just think sticking to dessert names rather than brand names is better.<p>Side note: This guy [0] owes us a video!!<p>[0] <a href="http://bit.ly/xGxKfy" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;xGxKfy</a><p>Edit: Didn&#x27;t want anything to melt.

Starting a counter for headlines containing &quot;break&quot;. (already counting around 4 from google news)

Does anyone know if Kit Kat will be coming on the Google Nexus 4 smartphone I just ordered a few days ago? I&#x27;m not familiar at all with Google&#x27;s records with allowing older phones to upgrade to newer versions of Android. Thanks.

4.4 and not 5.0? I bet the &#x27;major&#x27; change will be renaming the stock browser to &#x27;chrome&#x27;

What the hell - so there won&#x27;t be Android 5 this year, when there are already 2 years since the Android 4.0 release? If they miss the spring deadline, too, and keep 5.0 for next fall, Android&#x27;s (really major) versions would be upgraded as slowly as Microsoft&#x27;s Windows.<p>Plus, Android is turning 5 years old this fall. Meh.

it&#x27;s not Android 5.0 but 4.4. I am curious what functions are still left before we don&#x27;t need anything new. Also how does Chrome&#x2F;Android work together now? Somehow I am expecting a surprise.

Isn&#x27;t KitKat a trademark of Nestlé?
