It seems that some 1,000 contest winners in India who thought that they managed to win the latest Nexus 7 (2013 model) thanks to KitKat India were disappointed, especially after they were on the receiving end of the regular Nexus 7 – sans 2013, of course. Needless to say, there was plenty of winner rage if you ever saw one, and Nestle claimed that the Nexus 7 (2013) was not available during the time when the contest ended, which was a pretty fair explanation, actually.

After all, it is not as though the folks over at Nestle are involved in making consumer electronics, but rather, they are a confectionary company. This is definitely an oversight of sorts on their part, although legally speaking, they are correct in saying that the Nexus 7 (2013) was unavailable at the time when the contest period was over. Good thing that Nestle has a far bigger heart, and the company has decided to replace the older Nexus 7 with the Nexus 7 (2013) model, even giving out instructions to those who have already collected the Nexus 7. That is definitely a nice public relations coup, and I am quite sure that the winners would continue to snack on some delicious KitKat for many more years to come, don’t you think so?

It has not been too long after Google started to roll out their Android 4.4.1 KitKat updates to various Nexus devices, where among them would include the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, but here we are with word that Google has also begun to introduce Android 4.4.2 KitKat to different Nexus devices – with whispers on the street stating that the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 devices have begun to be on the receiving end of such updates, while there were also reports of manual download links popping up.

So far, there has been no official announcement from Google concerning the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update, although Sprint did make an announcement that you can take advantage of an update to build KOT49H for the Nexus 5. Considering how Google’s update last week happened to be build KOT49E, it goes without saying that the KOT49H update is a wee bit more recent. Will such minor increments and improvements made in the latest update (or at least, it is perceived to be as such) really be important in the larger scale of things? Perhaps Android 4.4.2 KitKat was released so soon after Android 4.4.1 KitKat hit the streets in order to address whatever niggling issues it carried, which is a good thing actually.
