Android 4.4 arriva prima su Moto X che su Nexus 4!

Brava Motorola, un po' meno Google, anche se il dualismo e la contraddizione in questa frase sono evidenti. Fatto sta che mentre il Nexus 4 ancora aspetta l'OTA di Android 4.4, il Moto X a marchio Verizon già si veste dei colori di KitKat, con buona pace del googlefonino. Del resto c'erano già state delle avvisaglie nei giorni scorsi, ma oggi è stata sciolta ogni riserva, e l'update è già disponibile.

Non essendoci molti utenti di Moto X in ascolto, non ci dilungheremo oltre, ma vi lasciamo comunque il changelog completo dell'aggiornamento:
