The Nexus 5 is expected to launch with Google's next-gen operating system Android 4.4, KitKat.
The Android 4.4, KitKat release date might have recently been hinted at by Google.
The company posted up an image on its KitKat Google+ and Facebook pages that showed the Bugdroid dancing. They also wrote the following comment with it: "Everybody dance now! #AndroidKITKAT."
Android Community attempted to decipher the meaning behind the post and came up with something interesting regarding the software's release date. The company made a reference to a song released on Oct. 18 1990. The record is 4 minutes and 4 seconds long which matches up to the 4.4 in the KitKat name.
Other rumors point to Android 4.4, KitKat featuring a default SMS app.
Google advised SMS app developers to prepare their apps for the arrival of the software so users will be able to switch to the company's own "default SMS app."
