Bangalore: The KitKat contest that was launched in U.S. and some European countries has hit the Indian shore. Next time you walk into a store; don’t forget to get your hands on special KitKat packets with Android mascot on it. The delicious chocolate may get you a Nexus 7 tablet.

Google is giving away the tablet in every hour to winners and there are a total of 1000 tablets that could be won. The contest will be active till November 15. All you have to do is message a special eight digit code that you find on the KitKat wrapper to 9880298802. Users will have to text – SMS KITKAT <space> <8 digit code>.

Unlike in U.S. there is no option to directly key in the code on the company's website, and you have to send an SMS to participate. You get a reply saying “we would contact you,” after sending the message. And the winners name will also be displayed on the company’s official KitKat Android page.

Breaking its norm of opting generic name of sweets and confectionaries, Google has opted to christen its next Android as KitKat than Key Lime Pie, the name we thought until recently. The next version isn’t Android 5 but 4.4. Google, to popularize the new nomenclature and its partnership with Nestle, has launched the contest.
