It was widely expected that Google’s new Android mobile operating system would be called Key Lime Pie, following the tradition of oddball names (Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean etc) but it has now been announced that the next version will be called…KitKat.
According to Google, neither Google nor Nestlé, the owners of the brand KitKat, is paying any money to the other in the deal and the idea was to do something ‘fun and unexpected’. As they are often prone to do.
