The New iPhone 5S and 5C, Android and Kit Kat Join Forces – Tech Talk
Do you know how computers and phones have operating systems with weird names, like Lion Mountain?, Ice Cream Sandwich? Well there's a new one out, and it's a very interesting idea
Well Google's new Android operating system is going to be named- wait for it- KITKAT. Yes, named after the famous Nestles owned candy bar
Now think about it -that's good marketing right there. They call that co-branding. You chew on the candy, it makes you think of your handy Android phone. And when you get on the phone I'm sure they'll be reminders to make a Kit Kat your next snack.
According to CNET.com Analysts think it's genius because it will make Android more familiar . And from what the article says, Kit Kat is putting the Android logo on their candy bars.
