      Android 4.4 will be 100% released on October 21st. Danny Holyoake from Google+ pointed out KitKat's official Google+ page posts teasers every day at 3 AM (Starting from October 14th). Every teaser makes references to numbers and they form a countdown:
      October 14th: 007/James Bond was referenced.
      October 15th: If you count the chocolate Android robot's legs and arms as 1/2, there are 6 KitKat bars.
      October 16th (Yesterday): The S letters look like 5's.
      October 17th (Today): There are 4 KitKat bars.
      If Nestle and Google follow the same teaser pattern, we may see a 21/5 announcement and a 28/5 release.
      Sounds good to me!

              All I know is that I'm buying me a KitKat and as soon as I buy the Nexus 5, I'm going to sit back and enjoy my KitKat bar.

                  i'm still betting on Oct 31st. KitKat == Candy == Halloween. Michael Jackson == Thriller == Halloween(ish).

                    All this talk of KitKat's. Ha, we'll have to indulge in one of those too! I agree, its a great strategy move by google. Rumours, I really hope this one turns out to be true. I was a geared up for the 15th. Do ya's think they'll have enough stock for Christmas?

                          The wait is going to be over soon. The taste of Nexus will be more sweet with the blend of KITKAT...

                                  I think it will be the biggest mistake for google, stop communicating with ppl and making nexus 5 launch as a top secret many people got bored and started buying Moto-X, Xperia Z1 .....have fun google idiots

                                      I wonder if my Galaxy S4 will get 4.3 before 4.4 is released?

                                      Android is crap, Samsung is crap, so, so behind.

                                        I am waiting for Android 4.9 that is being called poo poo, keeping in the theme of releases.
                                        I just dont think these marginal Android updates are enough.
                                        They are just correcting basic flaws and a few tweakings.
                                        When is the real advances going to be made.
