Either you didn't even watch it, or you have a very poor understanding of english, maybe that would explain how "nothing new" happened at your place. Because they unveiled a ton of new stuff we didn't even expect.

        Only interesting aspect of Android L is that it sort of puts Samsung into a corner. While other manufacturers will rush to adopt it, as it will make their handsets more attractive to buyers, Samsung may not be so eager, having worked hard at differentiating their phone with TouchWiz.

        This will make Samsung think whether to push for Tizen sooner, or also having to adopt Android L, diluting its experience in the process.

          Not much change from the feel of it. Minor tweaks and bring UI up to date to match Apple.

          BTW, isn't this feature from Apple? "notifications have been enhanced and are now available on the lockscreen. You can either tap a notification from there and be taken to the app responsible for it, or you can swipe it right off."

                I wish they showed more Android Wear, but it's nothing we dont already know.

                Android One should have been an overall program, which could have solved a lot of fragmentation issues.

                        I don't think there is much to expect anything new from android any longer. It's already matured.

                                  And this news been here 2 hours and yet under 20 comments, it looks like this was very boring stuff, well it definately was. Though first time android actually looks good., but there was way too many animations, someone should have said to google that less is more, not everything need to move.
