4.4 coming; to be named "KitKat"

Pretty big give-aways by Google.  Coupled with the price reduction of the Nexus 4, either new Nexus phone coming or perhaps phasing out of Nexus devices for "Nexus Experience" devices like we saw with the HTC One and S4.  I guess it'll be awhile until we see 5.0 and what changes that will entail.

Interesting breakdown of how Google is trying to sidestep OEMs (verizon lol) with faster, smaller releases than previously done.  I'm looking forward to hopefully a less fragmented Android landscape.

the price drop of the nexus 4 was defiantly to sell of remaining stock, ready to bring in a new flagship nexus phone. KitKat is a cool name for the 4.4 update it it still isn't the 5.0 which we were all looking forward too.

Well that explains this opening joke then!
