                    It's always the work of hidden people. Rubin or Puchai are nothing but pictures to the media.

                    I believe Android needs to be re struchtured from very start to fix the lags and security issues and not just to keep updating sucha a system.

                    I love Android, but sorry iOS still far better in speed and stability. Smart phones are so powerful now and still Android limits all that power with their weak structure. Android and Smartphones are just like installing (Windows ME, the most buggy) on a very powerful hardware, stays buggy :D

                                Google wanted a major breakthrough in Android OS and more comprehensive eco system, Sundar Pichai seems to be the right candidate to lead on this mission.

                                For sure Andy might not be long in Google. Most probably he may join Apple to head iOS.
                                However, this is just speculation.

Keep in mind, the s2 has much fewer problems then the s3. But still the problem is always there, which is not the best solution.
