Every day is a tease: Will Google launch Kit Kat today? Was that really the Nexus 5 we saw floating around in that one video? Is this real life?
The Android scene is never short on rumors and speculation, so distinguishing between what's hearsay and what's legit can be difficult. Although we can certainly conjure up a list of wild features that we hope Google will announce in the 4.4 version of Android (if only for shock value), brazen speculation can take us only so far.
With that in mind, it's time to distill everything that is actually relevant and informative among all the Kit Kat rumormongering, and to pick out what we might plausibly expect to see in the next version of Android.
Even more cloud living
Android is already heavily cloud-centric, so it stands to reason that Google will fold more native integration of cloud services into the next Android version. Take Cloud Print, which lets you print from an Android device to a Google Cloud Print–connected printer. It was released earlier this year as a stand-alone application in the Google Play Store, but judging from a leaked screenshot (below) of an early build of Kit Kat, Google will likely roll the feature into Android rather than offer it as a separate download.
