Android KitKat 4.4! All New features

Here are the all new features of Android KitKat 4.4: Check them out and say what's your favourite!
Starting with the Nexus 5 all Google devices will get the updates within this month.

Ok Google: A feature first showcased in the Motorola's Moto X finds its way into native Android. Just say, "Ok Google" to activate the phone without touching it. Users can launch a voice search, send a text, get driving directions or play a song with the voice command. ( Already in 4.3)

 Full-screen album art: On Android KitKat album art will display in a full-screen format on the lock screen while listening to music or streaming via Chromecast.( Need Album Art Grabber first :P  )

(Best Feature according to me!) Immersive mode: The new immersive mode gives a full screen experience hiding all controls while reading a book, watching a movie or playing a game. Swiping on the edges brings back the status bar and navigation button.
(No controls at the side/bottom=More screen space and better experience)

 Improved multitasking: Google says Android 4.4 betters system performance by optimising memory and improving the touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately. (Awesome gets awesomer)

 Priority contacts: The new phone app in Android KitKat automatically prioritises contacts based on the people users talk to the most.  (Good)

 Extended search: On Android 4.4 users can also search for nearby places and businesses or people in their Google Apps domain. ( Expected this after the policy update, means your +1's will be visible to ALL your friends)

Improved caller ID For calls from numbers not listed in the user's contacts, Android 4.4 will look for matches from businesses with a local listing on Google Maps.  (Helpful)

SMS, MMS integrated into Hangouts: The new Hangouts app on Android 4.4 also displays SMS and MMS messages. (Hangouts will give stiff competition to all messaging apps after this)

Emoji on Google Keyboard: Android KitKat brings in the popular Emoji characters to the default Android keyboard.  (Emoji's everywhere now)

Printing: Android 4.4 allows users to print photos, documents, and web pages from their phone or tablet. Users can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print, to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store. (No wires, no file transfers required)

iPhone 5? The Ultimate Smartphone ? Really?

The iPhone 5. The newest bullshit. Go for it if points like value for money, features, beauty and sheer ingenuity don't matter much to you.
Let me get straight to the point.
The iPhones have been known to be highly overrated phones. The newest addition stays true to this tradition.

Take the specifications of Apple's baby and put it up against the likes of the Nokia Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X ( or HTC 8x if you are a fan of Windows phone) and you will see what I'm trying to say. And now with the introduction of the LG Google Nexus 4, Google's very own Android flagship device it's going to get even hotter.

For the confused, befuddled and 'confunded' souls out there, here is the real deal.
