Knowing Google, Fuchsia was probably started as a mean to kill yet another product.

  You're getting downvoted but your vocalization has some merit. I looked at the link and decided not to bother reading it since it'll probably get closed down in a few years, so what's the point?

    People seem eager to forget, given that Google Talk was discontinued not even a week ago.

      The real nail in the coffin for me was when they killed Google Reader for no good reason. What a shame.

What's revolutionary about it android is pretty mediocre.

  Why is Android mediocre? In my experience, it's more capable than iOS.

    i have both and no, Android still rough around the edges.

      I have both. I feel iOS lack in certain areas compared to android.

    Lack of updates on most devices, xml to define interfaces, fake java as its primary development language, messy file hierarchy, obnoxious issue wherein apps cannot be given access to entire SD card meaning you can't just have a pictures or ebook folder and have more than one app have access to said folder. Example annoyance third party gallery app can't delete photos created by other photo app. Alternatively calibre companion can't access the same hierarchy as ebook readers. Until recently the offline map support was crap I think this has improved but as I already have Navigon for $30 to have this basic feature so I haven't verified this. If you don't reboot it regularly it generally becomes unusable due to memory leaks eventually. It crashes for no discernable reason on occasion usually when I'm not even using it surprise reboot! The obnoxious need to hack your own device to have full control of it. As an Android user my next phone will be a dumb phone plus laptop.

    That's not saying a whole lot.
