With an even more offensive palette of colors than Apple was widely criticized for adopting.
That's a web page. Not the OS. iOS7 looked like a paint factory exploded on the phone. In fact Android's Holo look is already very good. The new design language at first glance seems to be better. I need to spend a little more time learning about it.
Can someone please explain to me just what the **** these people are doing with Google Glass on their faces while watching the keynote, besides making some sort of douchebag statement? The thing can't even record a clip beyond a few seconds, so its not like theyre recording the keynote. I have no problem with devices like Google Glass when they have a real benefit to the user in that specific situation. But Glass evangelists are insistent on basically wearing them ALL THE TIME, for no fucking reason whatsoever.
they are complete tools, basking in their front-row toolishness...
Did you notice that when Google announced Docs will have full native compatibility with Microsoft Office they did so without once mentioning Microsoft by name> I don't think any competitive platform was mentioned in the entire Google I/O presentation for that matter were they? I like that they concentrated on discussing improvements and products from their own stable without resorting to any bashing of anyone else. Plenty of that already going around without the principals stooping to it.
Not by name, but there were a couple of jibes about 'other companies' when they brought up the timeline of major Android features and highlighted how Intents, multitasking and the like were added back in 2008.
I kinda like it. It's going the exact OPPOSITE direction of iOS aesthetically -- adding depth instead of removing it. I think the "flat design" approach is a bad idea. An extra dimension (depth) provides another means of delineating elements and reduces perceived clutter.
Honestly, if Android could provide the security Apple offers I might be tempted. But it doesn't so I'm not.
iOS 7 is flat in neither intent nor fact. Rather, Apple has used effects like transparency to give a sense of depth and layering to the UI. What Google is doing here is imitating Apple plain and simple.

Before iOS 4: "LOL ur phone don't have multitaskin"
After iOS4: "Oh noe u stoled our ideea"
And thats it for this episode of *Crap android fanboys say* Tune in next time for "but our phones had big skreen b4 urz"
Hands down Google has lost its i ovation for days. This is Google iOS 7. Just mod the dam droids to run iOS. Google, well we're out of ideas for android so lets just make iOS 7 for android. I hope Apple sure the day lights out of Google and people relies all this forgery they've done.

Sorry I don't see anything that fantastic with Android redesign. Even some of the comments on the Verge agreed. That's saying something since most of the commenters on the Verge are Google fanboys
This means your roommates can unlock your Android phone, computer or tablet when you sleep close by with a G-watch. Good one, Google.
Android users make enough money where we don't need roomates.

Apple's transparency is to give depth on "shades" that are pulled up, i.e. notification center and quick controls. Google's version is to give depth to objects on pages to highlight items or to make actionable items more noticeable. There's quite a difference
I think the extra dimension improves usability. It's actually fine with me if you don't but it would be easier for me to respect your opinion if you stated it without insulting mine.

Are you serious? You think your phone can be unlocked by an Android wear device belonging to somebody else?

And they say only Samsung is copying Apple's playbook
