I was wondering the same. I like the features of Android L. Just that my moto x doesn't seem unique for too long anymore

I watched some highlight reals and it seemed like just a theme refresh. Its the same functionality(even compared to BlackBerry os10 lockscreen notifications and iphone safari tabs) with animations. In android 6 everything will be animated circles, theme changing is played out. As for the wearables aka touchscreen bluetooth watches - I hope they do some interesting things with the round screen watch.

Change your wallpaper to the new L and you'll feel just as good until it gets released officially.

This reviewer goes through some of the graphical tweeks but it's like watching a designer talk about photoshop.

Cant really take anything you seriously sometimes. It seems you are still angry about the failure of blackberry.

As a programmer why you don't talk about the changes to the compiler etc google has made?

@pezz nope I can't talk about that at all because I'm not interested in any of the developer stuff they are doing. I'm only looking at it from a consumer perspective. Just like with apple's Metal and 64 bit stuff.

And the consumer perspective is exactly what google is tackling with Android L.

LOL

Apple 64bit serves no purpose at the moment....
