I'm not quite sure how much I like this. I can see my search results getting populated with a bunch of apps that I don't want, like "Game of War". This will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I'm personally hoping they target more generic keywords like genres of game or coupon or hotels or stuff like that. I'd be very annoyed if they let advertisers target specific app names like "Facebook", "Twitter", or my own app's very specific name (as long as it isn't generic)
Why wouldn't they? As somebody pointed out elsewhere, ads on various scummy sites show up if you search for "Firefox" and other things on regular Google search. I'd guess people who are searching for something specific are more likely to actually make a purchase or whatever, so they'd be more valuable to Google.
I have been using Google Wallet with zero problems since the beginning of 2012. Google doesn't need to make it more usable because it's incredibly easy to use. They need to market it better. Not many people know about it.
To be fair, the updated design (Material Design) is mostly back-ported all the way to 2.3. The user experience is practically the same on 5.0 as pre-5.0.
* Do not use getBaseContext() like he does when he created the new Activity. Use getApplicationContext for most things (unless an Activity is required) as this is guaranteed to be the same throughout the lifetime of your application.
Wow, I did not know about that undo feature. That would be a great addition to Android.
One way they could do this pretty easily in my opinion (if they wouldn't do the shake feature) is to have it included in the contextual action bar when you highlight text.
Like maxk42 said, most of these are device specific. I will address some of these more specifically, though.
slow scrolling response
While Android as a whole may not be as smooth as iOS is (due to the Dalvik VM if I'm not mistaken), this is pretty much a non-issue on most newer phones from what I've seen. Also, the addition of the Android Runtime, I've noticed zero lag on my Nexus 5.
Too many crap apps in store
This is an issue on both platforms. Most of the most popular apps on the App Store are on the Play Store as well.
Cheap hardware designs
Not really an Android issue. Blame this on the OEMs. Though, there are some very well built, comfortable phones. HTC One, Moto X, both Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. This is more of a personal preference. I could say the same about iPhones as I personally don't like the design of the phone.
Music players that lack complex playlist algorithms
Perhaps not as complex as iTunes, Google Play Music is quite a service. Check it out if you haven't.
Lacking mac integration
Any specific examples here? I have used a Mac for the past year and have had no issues with integration.
Limited upgradability
Not sure what you mean if not OS upgradability (see below).
Dumb OS features
Again device specific. Also, something you might see as dumb may not be to someone else. Personally, I think the fingerprint scanner is dumb. Thought it was when Motorola did it years ago, think it still is today.
OS updates delayed
Again, device specific. Nexus phones do not have this problem. Moto X is another phone that is getting quick updates.
Short battery life
No response here. This is my biggest gripe with Android.
