Re: Google Android
Samsung really quite badly need to de-crap their software, they're one of the last who still throw the kitchen sink and more on their phones, while pretty much everyone else has now gone the other way and now stay close to stock android. All that extra tatt adds to the complexity of doing an upgrade with more chance of it being borked

Kit Kats, jelly beans, ice cream sandwiches.
Balanced diet for developer types?

Every version of Android has been named after a snack or desert and in alphabetical order starting with D.
Donut (1.5)
Cupcake (1.6)
Eclair (2.0 - 2.1)
Froyo (2.2 - 2.2.3)
Gingerbread (2.3 - 2.3.7)
Honeycomb (3.0 - 3.2.6)
Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0 - 4.0.4)
Jelly Bean (4.1 - 4.3)
Kit Kat (4.4)
4.4 is the first to use an actual branded snack and probably not the last but was originally to be called Key Lime Pie. Wonder what L will be called?

Nestle& Andriod have an agreement and IIRC no money is involved.
Hopefully iFruits days are numbered.

Re: Google Android
4.4 on my nexus 7 (2012) seems better, giving it a go with stock launcher.
My S4 is on 4.3 and according to reports should get it in January.
S3 4.4 is due March/April '14

Re: Google Android
I am using 4.4 on my nexus 4, tbh I was quite disappointed in some parts of it, for example some of the new icons look horrendous like the settings icon. It looks like it has been pulled straight from touchwiz.
The lack of transparent bars annoyed me aswell however a beta version of nova launcher soon sorted that.
Nexus 7 2012 is still running 4.3 aokp. Don't think I will bother flashing everything back to stock for 4.4 and will just wait for aokp to start putting out 4.4 builds.

Re: Google Android
I've updated to 4.4 on my nexus 4 also, the launcher doesn't bother me as I use GO Launcher. Everything is fine, apart from the phone app, which when you go into it ALWAYS shows the dialler instead of my favourites that 4.3 used to give me...first thing I have to press is the back button, which is a slight annoyance...
