After Googling information about Android KitKat, I found something that I think interests many Android users.
As many of you have noticed through the Nexus 5 leak, the launcher on Android 4.4 has noticeably changed. That launcher is now called "Google Experience" and after some guys managed to look into it's code, the .apk starts with ".com.google.android.appname", rather than ".com.android.appname". The former is used for Google apps released onto the Play Store now while the latter is used before they were put onto the Play Store (for all you non-tech geeks).
What does this tell us? Google may be launching the KitKat launcher on the Play Store for Android devices that run any version of Android starting from FroYo.
It's a rumor, but if this is true, this should please many Android users who either use a device that filled with bloatware, a not-so-pretty UI or just wants the pure Google Experience without rooting and loading a custom ROM.
