Surprising everyone in the mobile market Motorola pushed Android 4.4 KitKat to the Verizon Moto X just two weeks later, and in some cases beating Google’s own Nexus 4, 7, and Google edition devices to the upgrade. While most users with a Moto X are enjoying the new treat, today we’ve learned the Moto X Android 4.4 KitKat update is continuing on and will soon be available on US Cellular.
