Android follows a “sweet” naming convention. The latest version (as of this writing) – Android 4.4.2 KitKat takes its name from the delicious wafer chocolate – KitKat. Perhaps Google would have thought that “KitKat” or “Ginger Bread” sounds better than mere numbers like 2.3 or 4.4. It is also interesting to note that after the first two versions, android naming follows an alphabetical order, how “sweet”!
