Android 4.4 KitKat release date is being floated to be on Oct. 31, a few days after the initially speculated October 14 release date. Artem Russakovskii of Android Police informed his circle from his Google Plus account of the release date.

“As of about a month ago, KLP's (as it was known at the time - of course, we all know it's called KitKat now) release date was set to October 31st,” Russakovskii wrote on his Google Plus account.

“Dates do change, and my information is about a month old, so if KitKat or the Nexus are delayed, Google may not hit the October 31st date. I really don't see them finishing everything early, so I wouldn't bet on anything earlier than that date. Miracles do happen though.”

Russakovskii also said that his rumors are in line with an earlier report of an October 14 TA (technical acceptance) date for the next Nexus. He said that the October 14 date was misinterpreted as the launch date.

In an earlier report, Pantech Technologies of Korea announced in a tweet that it’s devices will be running on Android 4.4 KitKat by the end of 2013.

According to Gotta Be Mobile, Blog of Mobile were the first to unearth this tweet (from the official Pantech Twitter account) which still kept the exact launch date for Vega Iron owners a mystery. All they got was that they can expect it soon. In other words, the only device that has been confirmed officially to come with Android 4.4 KitKat update before the 4.4 launch is the Pantech Vega Iron.

Many are saying that the new mobile OS by Google will be announced together with the Nexus 5 and Nexus 10. The release of the mobile OS and the new Google flagship handset and tablet is said to be the tech giant’s last hoorah for the year.

No other companies have spoken on the subject to-date reports Gotta Be Mobile while they still try to figure out which products will have the update and by when they can get it. So far what Gotta Be Mobile can confirm is that a majority of the devices like Galaxy Note 2, S3 and many more will be upgrading to Android 4.3 and then the KitKat upgrade will come further down the line. Speculations suggest that HTC One X and One X+ will not even get the upgrade at all but HTC has not commented on this.

If speculations are anything to go by, we should learn of the specs in October. To be more exact, on the rumored October 14 date when Google has an announcement for the upcoming Nexus 5 that we expect to carry Android 4.4 KitKat.

Gotta Be Mobile states that the only confirmation available was Google stating earlier that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launch with Android 4.4 KitKat is coming. There was a splash page surrounding it that touted a partnership with Nestle but no concrete details has emerged on what the release date would be or what features reviewers and users could look forward to.

As far as Gotta Be Mobile is concerned, Nexus lineups are usually the first to come with Android updates so it is probable that the Pantech Vega Iron will only come after the Nexus 4, 7 and 10 in terms of the Android 4.4 KitKat Release Date.
