Google's SVP Sundar Pichai has just confirmed -- by way of the above photo -- that the next version of Android is named KitKat (rather than the rumored "Key Lime Pie") aka version 4.4. The exec shared this geeky nugget on both Google+ and Twitter, while his company has updated the Android developer site with a page chronicling Android's milestones so far. While details are light at the moment, Google teases its upcoming release with the following line:
"It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody."
And just to recap, here are all the previous dessert-based names: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. Yep, it's "K" after "J" now.
Pichai also announced that there are now over one billion Android device activations, surpassing the 900 million mark back in May this year.
