Everyday Digitals - Yesterday Google rocked the Internet by announcing its next version of Android (4.4) would be changed from it's generic dessert name Key Lime Pie to Kit Kat. Yes, the candy bar with 4 sticks of chocolate that cover 3 layers of wafers. Wait...4 sticks, 4 layers....4.4. Sure that's a cute coincidence but I think there may be an even deeper meaning to why Google decided to link their mobile OS to a candy bar. Beyond the obvious marketing benefit of having Android plastered over 50 million candy wrappers, what Google says about the focus of Android 4.4 seems more interesting.
Samsung's Galaxy S25 is set to elevate Google AI integration, extending to hardware depths.
Google Reportedly Set to Launch Tool Revealing Battery Degradation Over Time for Phones and Tablets, Says Android Authority.
Amidst the AI frenzy of 2023, major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are in the spotlight, launching their own generative AI systems.
...because it starts with a "k"?
There are other desserts that start with a K that aren't connected to multi-national trademarked brands.
or perhaps because the food kitkat is more popular than key lime pie. and besides "key lime pie" is a three word name. Too long for an OS name
