  1. I would love to see one tablet be able to share data from one screen to another on another device just by swiping the object off the screen onto the other when the devices connect somehow and are practically touching. Maybe not something for this Gen of operating systems but its food for thought

    I wish Google would address the LOW VOLUME on the speakerphone. It’s barely audible unless you hold it next to your ear, which defeats the purpose of the speakerphone..
