Hey guys. It is a beautiful day and I hope you are well and
happy. I can’t complain either. Once again I would like to thank you for
finding your way to this blog. You guys are just the bestest! (And yes, I know
there is no word like that but I ignored autocorrect just for you) *wink wink*
Those who have had the chance to know me personally will tell
for a fact that I have a sweet tooth. I am talking creamy cakes, chocolates,
pies, sweets, muffins, cookies, chewing gums you name it! If it has sugar I am most
definitely there. But of course I do take precaution and brush my teeth
immediately after indulging in anything. We don’t want those dental carries.
They are nasty!
However, today there is going to be different kind of sweet treat. And
I am talking about nothing other than the new Android OS! Yeey, the day is
finally here. The long wait is over. This 15th day of October (I hope it wasn't just a rumour) will
see the unveiling of the Android mobile Operating System 4.4. It will be called…drum
rolls please…KitKat. Yes, after the chocolate :)
It was initially named Key Lime Pie, but here we are! It is usually some sort of tradition or policy, for lack of
a better word, that all versions of the Android OS are named after sweet
desserts. Hehe, I don’t know why they chose this pattern but one could say it
could be because desserts are sweet and oh so tempting. And if you are just
like me, the sugar rush is kinda addictive. So I guess you can get addicted to
the Operating Systems ey?
The past has seen a variety of these Android OS. Each release comes with a different feature and ability that will make something that was impossible before, possible! The OS have also been released alphabetically which saw my friends and I try to decipher which desserts started with ‘K’ and the subsequent letters. This was a very funny discussion. We came up with crazy names like Kiwi pie, Kale pudding and Krackles hehe. One of us actually mentioned Kit Kat, so he was the only one who saw this coming! But for the next version, I predict…‘lemon something’ or ‘liquorice’ ß mark this :)
Allow me to briefly take you
through the sweet Android OS that have already graced us with their presence.

Apart from the unveiling of the KitKat, also set to be shown

will be running on the KitKat OS. I wanted to get my hands on the Nexus 4 but now I think I will
also unveil my new wants hehe.
With that said, let
me sign out and wait for the release. Plus, just writing about this got me craving chocolate. So I am going
to get me some! I really hope you are as excited as I am and if you weren't, I
hope I have inspired you to be somehow hehe. I wish you all a lovely afternoon.
Thanks for stopping
