And Ubuntu ...

this is true, it seems to be slowing and as we know right now an os cant slow as it will be left in the past and labeled outdated. ios has this problem where people are seeing it as outdated and same can happen to android

hopefully there are some new features not yet known that wont be gimmicky and be useful

i know i'll get thumbed down

None of Key Lime Pies features have been confirmed so I'd take all of that with a grain of salt. But I definitely disagree with you. 5.0 has to be a HUGE update. In fact I'd argue bigger than any other update any mobile OS has ever seen. It won't get outdated or left behind. With that type of thinking then every mobile OS is left behind. Next month I truly believe Android will become the only one that can replicate the PC experience. And yes I love Android ;)

17. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

see im not saying it will happen overnight im just saying when an os starts to slow down its never a good sign. also you dont disagree with me....i think 5 has to be a huge update too actually i think everyone is expecting that and if it isnt then its gonna be a massice let down.

as for the comment android will be the only one able to replicate a pc experience.........no i dont agree all os's will continue advance and wp8 has more in common with a pc so theres ground there for easy integration plus xbox live will hopefully be implemented better in the future, ios well never count apple out there experts at coming back they just always get arrogant and complacent.

i can tell you love android...weird to love an os but your just part of the majority on here that do......and as you can see by the thumbs down there very defensive and not once have i said android is bad

19. TreyTreyTaylor (Posts: 709; Member since: 21 Dec 2010)

I agree with what you said but I actually think it's perfectly fine to love an os. You see we(smartphone junkies) have forgotten that it's okay to love something that makes life so much better in so many ways. I don't dislike WP8, IOS, BB10 etc. Different OS's serve different people well for different uses. It's just that I love flexibility, freedom, and versatility in my phone these days. Android has come so far since 2010 that IMO I truly believe it is the best OS ever. Flaws and everything included, it's just an experience to be had. But we're all entitled to our own opinions. And I respect yours...

You better keep your mouth shut and that will help us all to discuss the topic. Thank You!

45. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

nah id rather not, besides you fanboys dont discuss you blindly praise

and why are you chirping in with an irrelevant comment when me and him had finished our discussion kid?

40. boosook (Posts: 1442; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)

I hope so, but unfortunately I don't think so. There are too many things missing. I'm a musician and I can tell you that audio latency is a problem that must be addressed, otherwise they'll never match iOS. Also USB support: I have a Nexus 7 and still it does not support nor USB Host nor USB audio cards out of the box... you need to buy paid apps. It does not have an audio recorder out of the box: you have to buy paid apps to record mp3 or ogg audio. We're talking about basic OS functionalities here. There's not a file manager or a decent email client. There are too many things missing, and Google just doesn't care because they're only interested in promoting their services, because that's where they earn money. They don't care about turning Android into a complete OS, since it's free. Android is an OS for mobile devices, and Google is focusing in APPS and not in the OS, because they understood that they earn money throug apps (which, furthermore, can are available for iOS too).
That's why in the latest weeks they put a big effort in iOS versions of their apps, updating gmail, maps, search, chrome and so on... they seem to have switched their priority from promoting Android to promoting their apps, and that's probably one of the reasons why Andy Rubin has been replaced: he was too bound to the Android OS, while Google is concentrating not in Android but in Google services and ecosystem, whichever the OS where they run on. Android has become (or maybe it has always been...) merely a trojan horse to spread the apps.

Why would I want to replicate the PC experience? The PC experience is crap.

11. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)

I haven't seen any articles regarding rumored features of key lime pie that seemed even remotely convincing. At least any with some degree of detail.

The only one I've read said something along the lines of "KLP will offer features all across, but will have it's main focus in improving the tablet experience"

That's pretty vague on what kind of features to expect, although the idea makes sense. As tablets become powerful, they can add more features to compete with laptops... or merge with them.

That could also add some fire to the other rumor about Android Ultrabooks... but then again, would that mean cannibalizing Chromebook sales? Hmmm.

59. milesboy5 (Posts: 179; Member since: 07 Nov 2012)

I agree about the tablets. As they get more powerful Google will need to increase the functionality of Android hopefully they do not make Android a fragmented operating system like WP8 and RT are right now.

On a separate note and this is just my opinion...I think they should keep Chromebooks as the dirt cheap alternative net books, and then create Android Ultra books to compete with the high end Windows laptops.

Yet Android is still the most advanced mobile OS so far, can even replace a PC in some cases. And no other OS comes close execpt may be the upcoming Ubuntu. Idk what made you think it is slowing down but one thing I'm sure about, Google is no Apple/MS/Nokia and like you said, this is just rumours.

9. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

funny how your fanboy comment is full of bs

15. TreyTreyTaylor (Posts: 709; Member since: 21 Dec 2010)

No its not. It's actually true. I don't get how truth is fanboyism lmao.

18. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

ohh come on its bs, android at the start was terrible even the biggest android fan admits this.....that comments just to poke at other os's with no basis

seriously not support crap like that

22. TreyTreyTaylor (Posts: 709; Member since: 21 Dec 2010)

Your not lying. It was awful. But he's just referring to features it had that current rivals in 2013 don't.

23. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

what features are these though?

except for bluetooth transfer which ios still lacks there isnt anything

im just bored of this ''android was and is the best ever and all others are crap'' theme running through the comments section just look at sleepingoz hes prime example and he will have his android backup help him soon

android now is a great os, best for some but the term best is subjective

25. SleepingOz (unregistered)

Why don't you directly reply to my comment?
Again, no argument.. So ad hominem, right?
When you can't argue with someone, bash him instead.

"im just bored of this ''android was and is the best ever and all others are crap'' theme running through the comments section"
FACT is that Android is the most advanced OS right now. Don't agree? TRY TO PROVE ME WRONG! =]
And like I said many times before, truth is a bitter pill to swallow, especially if you're a butthurt hater.

Like what? Please give some significant software features.
