Google
has just announced the new name for the next version of Android (4.4) and it is
not a pie, it is KitKat, the chocolate candy bar. Before you start worrying
about trademark infringement, rest assured Google has permission to use the
name. In fact, they not only got permission, but KitKat is sponsoring a contest
to giveaway a Nexus 7 tablet or Google Play credits if you buy the right,
specially packaged KitKat bar.
According
to a post on their Android+ page, Google approached KitKat to ask whether they
could use the name. Clearly KitKat recognized that having their name associated
with the dominate mobile operating system in the global market could only be
good for business. The Android+ post came mere moments after Sundar Pichai
posted a pic of the AndroidKitKat on his Google+ page as part of a post about a
trip to Asia visiting Android ecosystem partners.
What
do you think – better than Key Lime Pie?
