KitKat looms large for Xperia

Android 4.4 KitKat has been washing across Sony's Xperia lineup like a tidal wave, and the manufacturer has a little hump day surprise lined up for three additional smartphones, with plenty more on the way.

Sony announced the release of an KitKat software update for the company's Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z1 Compact smartphones, finally delivering the latest and tastiest flavor of Google's mobile OS to date.

A tasty treat

Sony smartphone fans will also will able to dress up their Z Ultra, Z1 or Z1 Compact with new downloadable Xperia Themes, which can spruce up the user interface with upwards of 280 fresh assets in a variety of styles.

And that's not all: Sony has also committed to second quarter KitKat updates for Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z and Xperia ZR devices, along with future Android 4.4 plans for Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia E1 and Xperia M2 models. (Whew!)

In a separate announcement today, Motorola also delivered good news for its Moto X customers on the AT&T network in the US, with the rollout of Android 4.4.2 KitKat as an over-the-air update.

Once updated, AT&T Moto X owners will enjoy the ability to print documents or photos, improved battery life, the end of email sync delays and a fix for a bug causing data connectivity issues when roaming outside the US.
