Google's SVP Sundar Pichai has
just confirmed -- by way of a
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."
Pichai also announced that there
are now over one billion
Android device activations,
surpassing the 900 million mark
back in May this year.

Though they dont gave more info but still this is huge announcement for android lovers

Special Android-branded KitKat
packaging is heading to stores,
and you could win a Nexus 7 or
Google Play credit by checking
the wrapper. So, no Google isn't
going off the reservation and
stealing a trademarked name.
KitKat is working with Mountain
View, but Google has said that
neither Nestle nor Google paid
the other for this arrangement.
The contest will be offering up
1000 Nexus 7 tablets, 150,000 $5
Google Play credits, and 20,000
coupons for a free bag of 8 ounce
bag of Kit Kat Minis. It all kicks
off September 6th and runs
through January 31, 2014.

KitKat has allowed Google to use the name as it also helps them in advertising ;)

John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships, confessed to BBC that the Android 4.4 release was initially planned to be indeed called Key Lime Pie but sometime late last year, they decided to switch to the chocolate bar name.
