HTC: Android 4.4 KitKat coming to the One within 90 days, Google Play edition within 13 days

HTC One

HTC is going to push out the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat  to the HTC One. The Google Play edition will be updated within the next 13 days, the Developer edition and unlocked versions will get it within 30 days, and the remaining SKUs in North America (including all carrier variants) will have it in 90 days or less. With the exception of the Google Play edition, HTC plans to keep its signature Sense UI at version 5.5 (which has been available on global devices running Android 4.3); and although Mackenzie couldn't go into details on how the new KitKat features will be implented in Sense, we expect to see plenty of them make an appearance in the update in some way.

HTC is still working on a rollout plan for the other devices in its portfolio, such as the One max and One mini.
