Galaxy Nexus owners not happy about lack of KitKat love, petition started and sent to Sundar Pichai

Galaxy_Nexus_Petition_No_Android_4.4_KitKatLast week when Android 4.4 KitKat was announced, a lot of people rejoiced, but one select group of people didn’t. Those who own a Galaxy Nexus got the shocking news that they wouldn’t be getting the new chocolate treat, at least officially. Google’s reasoning is their policy to support devices for only 18 months. That policy is really meant for manufacturers, this is a Google product folks. Some say it really isn’t about the 18 month window and it’s more about drivers from Texas Instruments not getting updated.

Whatever the real reason is, Galaxy Nexus owners aren’t happy and I don’t blame them. The phone more than meets the specs and you would think Google would want to “show other manufacturers” how it’s done. Max Duckwitz isn’t sitting back and started a petition. He has well over 13,500 signatures and nearly 3,500 comments. He isn’t wasting anytime as he already sent all the signatures, comments, a quick letter, and petition text to Sundar Pichai at Google.

What’s next is anyone’s guess, but I would think that Sundar Pichai will have to comment on this. Kudos to Max for putting this together. I hope his hard work pays off. In the meantime, if you own a Galaxy Nexus and dabble with ROMs, you can still get a taste of KitKat unofficially.
