We figured Google was going to respond to those claims and […]

Cool :)

As they say, it's the best phone for someone who wants a smart phone, and I agree 100% Honestly I wanted the iPhone because I used to care about vanity and feeling cool, but seeing how it JUST started doing the things androids been doing for several years, I realize the primary purpose of an iPhone, is to show people you have an iPhone.

I'm just excited to get my hands on the "L" release preview tomorrow. The new visual overhaul and functionality is something I'm going to want to get my hands on before making a call.

First impressions from the keynote were that I really don't like the new navigation buttons <| O |=|

They seem much less intuitive. If you're already used to android though its likely just something to get used to.
 
The protesters were also pretty funny. There was someone yelling about google building robots that would kill us all before being lead out by security :rofl:
 
I use expanded desktop and pie anyway so nav bar doesn't affect me personally.
It's just crazy the amount of ideas they've taken from roms and Xposed modules lol. I suppose that's what androids all about.
Aparently Alex Cruz (dirty unicorn etc) is having some of his famous and hilarious rants on G+ so I'm looking forward to that. He's usually right on point too.
Everyone follow him. TUX profile pic
