Seems we have to start getting used to calling the latest Android version 4.4 as KitKat instead of Key Lime Pie. Android and Chrome Head Sundar Pichai confirmed the news on his Google+ account and the splash page is up and ready as well. 

Google made the switch from the previously known key lime pie after realizing that very few people know the taste of said dessert, according to director of Android partnerships John Lagerling. Also, it is supposedly a favorite snack of Android coders and it didn't take much or cost them to convince Nestle to allow them to use the brand. Naming it after the Nestle-trademarked chocolate bar keeps in line with the brand’s long-standing tradition of naming its mobile OS versions after desserts. There are no details yet what the new OS is going to offer but our sweet tooth and tech loving selves are ready.
