10 KitKat Features Offering All New Android Experience


#4 Cloud Printing        

The Android devices will now have the ability to wirelessly print with Cloud Printing, a service that was launched in June this year. It will allow them to send commands to print documents from their tablets, Smartphones and laptops to connected printers, which should be ideal for Microsoft Office. For this feature to work, your printer must be connected to Google Cloud Print or HP ePrint.

"Users can discover available printers, change paper sizes, choose specific pages to print, and print almost any kind of document, image, or file," mentions Google in the OS release notes.

#3 KitKat is for fitness freaks

Android KitKat has a step detector and step counter so that fitness-related apps can track when the user is walking, running, and climbing stairs.  The Nexus 5 offers the two sensors and Google says it's working with its chipset partners to bring them to new devices as soon as possible. The step detector uses the accelerometer input to recognize when the user has taken a step.  The step counter tracks the total number of steps since the device’s last restart.  The Runtastic Pedometer app uses the step detector and step counter to track whether you are taking the 10,000 steps per day that is recommended for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
