I would have corrected it but it had already been quoted, so I didn't want anyone to think I am illiterate

Slightly off topic here and I know Wispa wont mind...I tend to use quotes a lot in my replies for one reason only...By the time I have finished typing and posting...the thread has moved on with 6 other quickfire posters :smileysad:...so my comment would make no sense in the chain of things...

Well I can tell you a bit about kit kat (says she worriedly...looking over her shoulder..)

Android phones/devices have all their system updates named after sweets and desserts..

Each update is given a new name alphabetically...

I have heard of

Gingerbread

Honeycomb

Ice cream sandwich

Jellybean

Kitkat...and I think the next update planned will be Lollipop...

I have no idea of the earlier ones...but I think the info I have given is correct
