Oh you poor out of date fool. You’re still running Android 4.4.2? Don’t you know Android 4.4.3 is the new hotness? just released it, you know, yesterday. 

That’s right, Android’s version number ticked up a tiny, tiny bit yesterday as pushed out Android 4.4.3 for the Android Open-Source oject (AOS as well as factory images for a whole bunch of Nexus devices. It looks like the last two Nexus 7 models, the Nexus 10, the Nexus 4 5 are all supported. 

If you own one of those devices, you can break out ADB flash it yourself. Or you can wait for an over-the-air update from your carrier, which shouldn’t take too long.

So is Android 4.4.3 (still called KitKat) worth fretting over? Should you count the days until your non-Nexus device gets an update? obably not. So far, it looks like it’s primarily a maintenance release full of minor bug fixes cleanup.

Users have noticed two front-facing changes so far: refreshed Dialer ople apps. If you’re not using a Nexus phone, odds are you’re using a custom ROM that has its own phone dialer people/contacts app anyway.

It’s great to see cleaning polishing like this, but we expect much bigger things from I/O in a few weeks.
