I don't find it bad that it looks a lot like iPhone - I dislike the limitations of iOS, not its looks.

I find it very interesting that one of the developer devices has specs very similar to the old Nexus One (expressing low end) and the other is representing the high end of android devices.

High end of android devices??? Both of these are low-end phones, at least in my nowaday standards... (ok, the krait one can be considered mid range...)

Don't forget, we are in Cortex A15 era... a whole new range of hardware (much more powerfull than anything now on market) is coming pretty soon... hell, quad krait's are going to be spanked really soon :P

Please don't look at the rows of icons and even the droplet background picture...look at how round the icons are instead!

iOS was an evolution of all mobile OSs, Android was a half copy of iOS, Bada was a direct copy of Android, Firefox OS is a direct copy of iOS.

Windows Phone is by far the most original mobile OS ever created.

With all the fully functional mobile operating systems out there , do we really need newcomers in the field such as Tizen or Firefox OS ?
