Verizon Wireless stunned everyone earlier this week when it became the first carrier to bring Android 4.4 KitKat to the Moto X. The update — which came even before Google’s own Nexus 4 received it — was a noticeable change from Verizon’s often sluggish pace of updates. But its competitors aren’t lagging far behind. T-Mobile came second in distributing the major OS update to Moto X owners, and today AT&T is doing the same for its users. According to a post from Motorola on Google+, the update is rolling out now. That leaves Sprint as the odd one out among major US carriers.
