Android 4.4. KitKat - The Sweetest Features & Release Date News

While Apple fans get to grips with the freshly-released iOS7, Android users are eagerly awaiting the launch of Kit Kat – otherwise known as Android 4.4. Rumoured to be launching on October 14, the latest version of Google's mobile OS should be accompanied by the Nexus 5, the newest handset in Nexus lineage and the second to be produced by manufacturer LG.

Nestle has revealed that Android KitKat will launch in October via its official Facebook page, adding fuel to claims that Google will unveil its new version of Android and the Nexus 5 on October 14. 

Asked when Android 4.4 was launching by one of its fans, Nestle responded – in German – with the following statement: “Android 4.4 KitKat is available from October.”

Ahead of an official announcement from Google, this is about as concrete a launch date as we’re likely to get. Check out the Nestlé’s blunder by clicking here.
