[Galaxy Note II General] AcostaJA:
I'm an Apple fan, I own a macbook pro retina, and I JUST SELL my iPhone 5, when I purchased my note 2 to use it as Android R&D device coz it's part tablet and also its a phone, I still in love with iOS pollite design and Siri still by far the best voice assistant, but w/o network the e iPhone loses its advantages over android, the first month I discovered how nice is to play games on a 6" screen rather that 4" on the iPhone5 (playing the same game Asphalt 7, the note 2 won by far as gaming platform. but not enough to make me swap of preffered device, but then arrived SwiftKey 4 with it outstanding input that make me left away the iPhone5, it's amazing fast, while most time on iPhone I used Siri to type large text input, on the note I can do it best w/o talking a word and with much less correction, that's it's results of a combination of two factors : SwiftKey and the screen size, I have very large hands so the on screen keyboard on the iPhone5 was always a pain in the ass and the autocorrects doing its things was too annoying to still on the iPhone5, now I also discovered I can navigate on flash websites and interact with sites using the hover feature that helps a lot on sites w/o mobile front end, also the superior personalization it's a bonus.

The only things I think there still miss on OS/X is the iTunes, Google must creta it's own "iTunes" samsung Kies it's an example but fells short alongside iTunes.

Other things I miss from iOS are: Siri precission, the media player search feature, play list management, experience still far superior.

And of course a good working MTP driver for OSX, samsung Kies it's a shame by own right on OSX, but If we can't have a Google/Android common "iTunes-like" application at least a good universal MTP driver for OSX it's a must, hopefully I have AirDroid helps a lot but I still need some fast and easy transfer thru USB for large files or when I don't have a speedy network available.

To take over Apple/Microsoft reign Google must as priority build an desktop version of Google play not just a Web front end, but a desktop client with full media player features capable to open our ebooks gdrive, Update/Sync any brand of Android device via USB.

Also Google needs to push on a desktop (cloud less) OS, while Chrome OS maybe good for most people, really don't have much future, given mobile/tablet OSs are taken most popular task as word edition, spreadsheet, basic graphic design, etc but to provide a real alternative we need a powerful desktop OS loaded with our favorite Power Application as FULL PHOTOSHOP, AUTOCAD/MAYA /CATIA and alike, but those applications already exist on windows and some on OSX, but why aren't ported to an strong powerful os like Ubuntu? EASY Answer there is no programming environment easy to migrate those tons of code, so We Need Free Linux equivalent to Visual Studio and Xcode but not things as short as mono, or ****s as current Linux compiler for objective C, we need Google sponsor or internally developed Migration environments for both Linux and by extension for android, with library equivalent to MFC and Cocoa, plus rigorous Objective C and C# Compilers to binary rather than VMs, all well and rigorous maintained and free of unnecessary GPL traps that may keep developers away to support it.

So, we need:

*Pollite system UI as fast or faster as they add new features.

*GooglePlay desktop client similar to iTunes and universal to any Android device.

*True alternative Desktop OS for non Cloud usage - Power Commercial Apps, with Developer Tools friendly for Apple/Microsoft targeted code migration.

I'm happy with my 6" device but I assume still people can't handle this and may prefer other sizes, so no problem with current fragmentation.
