Wasabi, strawberry cheesecake, green tea, dark chocolate, sweet potato. What do these flavors have in common? They’re all KitKat varieties exclusive to Japan. But how did the crispy, break-associated candy get so popular overseas?
Updates to Google’s Android mobile OS take famously long to roll out to actual consumers, but here’s one stat that really puts things in perspective: 16 months after Google first released Lollipop 5.0, it’s finally the most popular (not by a majority!) version of Android.
It's been a while since we last heard of a software update for Glass and now I guess we know why. The team over at Mountain View has been busy updating the face-computer to run on the latest version of Android (4.4.2 a.k.a. KitKat).
Bluetooth speakers are all the same right? You connect your phone to them to wirelessly beam bumping music. Not Vizio's brand new Smart Audio speakers though. Vizio's Bluetooth speakers also have a freaking Android tablet running Kit Kat built in. Yes, there are 7-inch and 4.7-inch tablets on speakers now.
Starting today, Google will begin to roll out Android 4.4 KitKat to Verizon versions of the Moto X.
Motorola says Android 4.4 Kit Kat is coming. If you've got a Moto X on any carrier, or a Verizon-serviced Droid Ultra, Maxx or Mini, the company says you'll get the newest Android OS soon. [Motorola via The Verge]
Android KitKat was just announced yesterday, and both carriers and manufacturers are already promising to roll it out as soon as possible. You don't have to sit around and wait though, you can get some of KitKat's newest and best features for the phone you already have, right now. Here's how.
Got a Galaxy Nexus? No KitKat 4.4 for you. Sorry. That seems dumb and weird since KitKat is supposed to be tricked out for low-spec phones, but it seems to be the case.
The new version of Android is finally here, and its biggest feature is a new stage for an old favorite. Google Now is getting more limelight than ever, and that's fantastic. But even better, even folks with older handsets will (theoretically) be able to get in on the fun.
Android 4.4 Kit Kat and the new Nexus 5 are just around the corner. We've got all the leaks in the world to prove it. But we don't know when, and so of course, people have been speculating. Like lunatics.
Android 4.4 Key Lime Pie Kit Kat is on the horizon, so it's no surprise that (possible) screenshots are (allegedly) leaking out. We've seen a few that boast a new, flat design, but now we're seeing hints that there's actually no big visual change in store.
Some images of what’s alleged to be Android 4.4 appeared over the weekend, with screen captures of a phone supposedly running the new KitKat release giving us a look at what may be Google’s ever-so-slightly redesigned new mobile OS.
Thanks to newly released regulatory documents by the FCC, we seem to have confirmation that a "Nexus 5" will, in fact, be coming to us from LG sometime relatively soon.
Some things are just too dumb to not be fun. Here's the Android KitKat logo, in 3D, which you can drag around and spin in circles, for no reason at all, except that it's the funnest.
Well, would you look at that. In Google's unveiling video of the new Kit Kat statue of Android, a mysterious Nexus phone appears in the hands of a Googler taking a picture of said Kit Kat statue. It doesn't look like any Nexus phone we've ever seen, the Nexus logo is horizontal, the camera seems significantly larger…
Well, that's different. The next major iteration of Android will be called Kit Kat, it seems. We know this because Android boss Sundar Pichai just tweeted a photo of a gigantic Android robot made of Kit Kats.
What could be more useful than this concept of a food pyramid designed to keep your portions in check and to make you eat the right amount of veggies? If there is anything that I consistently do all day long besides working for Gizmodo, it’s probably putting anything edible within reach into my mouth. Whether I’m…
