Countdown Code

The official Android 4.4 KitKat and Nexus 5 announcements will most likely come hand in hand, and it won't be long before they're outed to the public. While we don't know for sure when it will happen, (although October 28th has been pointed to quite a few times) we do know that Google will have a countdown timer on the KitKat website to let us know when all the magic is going to happen.

The KitKat website references a JavaScript file named kitkat.min.js— in that file, you can find code for a countdown timer. The code doesn't have any specific date in it yet, but we're sure Google will add it in when the time is right to get the countdown started.

Be patient, friends. The chocolaty goodness will come soon enough.

Here is link to the original source: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110937633080014620803/posts/j2ewZuMpf5h – the countdown code that I found yesterday turned out to be related to the start date of the Kitkat-“Win a Nexus 7”-contest only. Not the OS launch date.
