Android hits 1bn total activations, and the next version appears is called… Kit Kat




Google has revealed the name of its latest Android mobile operating system and for some, it might sound a bit…strange. In a Google+ post, the company’s head of Chrome and Android, Sundar Pinchai gave people the impression that the next version will be called Kit Kat. This may not be likely and just a tease because as we all know, Kit Kat is a brand owned by Nestle.


As it turns out, Google has formed a partnership with Nestle, which, in a way follows the company’s naming conventions to follow desserts: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean.

However, one thing that is 100 percent certain is that Android has now been activated on more than 1 billion devices. This news comes several months after Pinchai announced at Google’s I/O developer conference that 900 million Android activations were made.
