A Perfect System Like Four Perfect Chocolate Fingers: welcome KitKat Android

LONDON – Google has confirmed that the next version of Android will be called KitKat. KitKat like the trademarked name of the chocolate candy bar made by Nestle. A splash page for the new operating system reveals that KitKat will be the codename for Android 4.4, not the long-rumored Android 5.0. The name keeps the company’s long-standing tradition of naming each version of its mobile operating system after desserts: CupCake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.0), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.0), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), Jelly Bean (4.1) and now, for the first time using a trademarked name and not a common name, KitKat (4.4).
