That gold colour is hideous.

The guys in the Windows Phone OT were raging about this and while I rarely jump on the Apple hate train, this is ridiculous.
Incredible bullshit.

You know what the problem is with this, it's so god damn verbose.
It should have just been something like:
"The color of you."
Pretentious, straight to the point, and even more salty infused for the haters.

I saw your post in the 5c thread aj, masterful trolling
after note3 unveiling and today's Apple show looks like smartphones in general are kind of stall right now. Besides the usual spec bump, minor os improvements,better camera here, higher resolution there or bigger screen there's nothing really moving forward. Some 'gimmicks' like this finger print sensor or being water resistant (for me the best thing to happen in the last 2 years) may give some life but do not seem to be enough.
And as Android KK is 4.4 instead of 5 I also think we will continue like this for a while.

I have two tiny scratches by the bezel and they're annoying the living fuck out of me.
You're not alone.
It'll stop two months after you accidentally drop your phone and gets seriously scuffed/marked.

I look forward to that post every year almost as much as the iPhone reveal.
iOS 7 is huge. Hardware is and will likely continue to be stale. Software is where it's at and iOS 7 is fantastic.

Can the new Nexus 7 use the dock for last year's model?

I feel the opposite lol, I don't like io7 and the new a7 chip, new camera and fingerprint thing interests me.
Edit: no andrex, different size AMD no pogo pins. Were you being serious? I do t even know anymore
I don't see it.
well, I'm not much into ios but nothing looks groundbreaking for me, maybe if you are an only apple guy this could be the equivalent of GB to ICS jump for Android users, because ios 6 really felt.. well, outdated.
I may be wrong though, since my only ios device is an iPod which I barely use

Just the way iOS 7 uses colors, translucency, transitions... It feels so light and airy. I love it. A lot. I wish Android had that feel.

Kit kat....BELIEVE. Seriously though, bit tired of the ICS look now.
I cherish every positive Bboy comment like a child's laughter.
How amusing would it be if KitKat reverted to the Gingebread color scheme?

From the guys who patented rectangles, whoda thunk it? KitKat parody has got nothing on this
This is really the only feature I find appealing, even if it really isn't a super secure alternative. I use the fingerprint scanner on my laptop all the time because of how convenient it is.

I have to think the multitask view is gonna be card-ified. Don't let me down, Duarte.
I can't help but think they'll eventually make it look like switching tabs in the Chrome app.

Make it holo light, get rid if the neon blue and I am happy
Pretty much. I can deal with iOS on a tablet, and enjoy my iPad mini. The OS just feels so slow, in terms of navigation/multitasking. Primary example is having a back button being inconsistent for navigating through a program. Having to tap twice on the home button to get a bad version of app switching.
It's like being in a padded room.

It's not Jelly Bean, so there's gotta be something substantial to it, even if it is just a .1 update...
Side note, we'll have been saying "Jelly Bean is the latest version of Android" for a year and a half by the time Kit Kat finally hits. Daayum.
Sure, but Jelly Bean didn't change that much from ICS though, and that was also a mere .1 update.
I will however remain hopeful. Need to see dat based Duarte in full action.

JB had some pretty nifty UI tweaks, like resizable widgets and widgets/shortcuts that moved around when placing a new one.
the mental gymnastics by my apple friend (works for apple) and the 5S OT, is impressive,
no justification for getting anything other than the 16gb
youre paying 400% markup for 16gb of memory, sad.
i agree, apple goes at its own pace

Sure, but nothing major in terms of cosmetics and UI design. Roboto's been constantly changing however, and new East Asian language fonts have been added. That's about it I'd wager.
ICS had resizeable widgets I'm pretty sure

Was 4.1 not the first time we got the card view with GNow? That same card look since then has woven its way around every app they have damn near, everything except the launcher and the stock messenger app.
I just wish Apple didnt hold it back from app makers. Just for unlock seems useless to me. Let me log into all my apps that way. Of course you need to find a way where my biometric data isnt handed over to every app with a login. You could kill the password with this thing on ios.

Personally think iOS 7 looks bad and it definitely won't stay "fresh" as long as Forstall's iOS was able to.
I'll install it on my iPad 3 later tonight but from the comments on GAF and Reddit about its performance on iPad 3... I'm not expecting much.

If we're gonna include apps then yeah, most of the Google suite apps have been overhauled. However, system apps and menus and the likes are still the old Holo dark. That's what needs to catch up, and for that needs a system update. Unless KitKat makes us able to download themes from the Play Store.

Fingerprint scan will be as much a useless gimmick as face unlock
Anywhere? fingerprint scanners can be tiny.
I mean, shit, just put it on the dimple of the MotoX.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Jelly Bean was more about fixing the lag, and actually leveraging the GPU.

the problems with face unlock were lighting being an issue and being fooled by photos etc...
i meant a good one, not the ones of yesteryear that people say are terrible.

It would say DRRRROOOOOOIIIIIIIDD every time it scans your finger.
The problems with fingerprint unlock are gloves being an issue and also being fooled by low-tech solutions (though not as low-tech...)
