Why Google should kill Android-
Now before every fandroid and their cousin flips about this, let me explain.
Android is a pretty cool operating system. I own a N7 and an LG Optimus G, and they're great devices. But something feels missing. The entire user experience feels broken with Android. LG, Samsung and HTC essentially fork the OS by using their own bloatware, carrier bloatware (Don't even get me started on that) and the worst: UI overlays. Android also lags and force closes apps quite a bit (even with JB) However, Android is very open, which is good, but is also it's achilles heel. So what if Google took what they've learned from Android and restarted with Chrome OS for phones and tablets. While doing so, Google could find a happy medium between being open and providing a good user experience like (iOS). No more bloatware, special UIs or anything, with guaranteed updates. And Google also allowed Android apps to still run on Chrome OS, but pushed for web apps. Not to mention, I bet they could make Chrome OS run faster than Android on low- end specs.
