Android 4.4 Kit Kat Features, Update, Release Date, Rumors: Oct 14 Launch;

Get a first look at the new Android OS.

Google inadvertently leaked the first screen shot of the upcoming Android 4.4 Kit Kat today.
In related news, a new report suggests Android 4.4 "KitKat" will launch Oct. 14 alongside the Nexus 5 smartphone, Google's rumored follow up to the hit Nexus 4 handset. The release date would be in line with Google's October Android update schedule in previous years.

Google has not yet confirmed the date and some experts say to take the rumors with a grain of salt, the International Business Times reports.

Though it was previously rumored to be codenamed "Key Lime Pie," Android 4.4 will in fact be called "Kit Kat" after the famous chocolate wafer candy bar.

Android chief Sundar Pichai announced the name earlier this month on Twitter.

 Google is also teaming up with Nestle to release several Android-themed Kit Kat Bars, ABC Newsreports. They even launched a promotional website for the treats.

When you buy a bar you will be able to enter to win Google prizes like a Nexus 7 tablet. A limited number of Android robot-shaped bars will also be released.

Meanwhile, a Kit Kat statue in the shape of the Android logo has been erected in front of the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California to stand alongside statues commemorating other major Android releases.

Each of the versions has been named after a sweet treat, starting with Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and now Kit Kat.

News about new features remains scarce, but the Wall Street Journal reports Kit Kat will be compatible with a broader range of Android phones than previous versions.

Other reports suggest the OS will be versatile enough to run on other gadgets like high-tech dishwashers, refrigerators and washing machines.
