Key Lime Pie: The next Android version

Back in 2009 Google released the first Android phone called HTC Dream with Android Cupcake version 1.5. Few months later they released an update called Donut 1.6. After that we saw some decent amount of Android devices with 2.1 Éclair. In 2010 Google released Android version 2.3 Gingerbread with more improved features, which is currently the mostly used Android OS. At that time vendors like Samsung and HTC started to make their own skin on top the Gingerbread. Amazingly within a short time period Google Android became one of the worlds most powerful OS. Recently Google CEO announced that they are receiving 1.3 Million activations per day and there are 480 Million devices out there.

The latest Android release was Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean which has so many superb features but what about the next version? Most of the rumors believe it will be Android 5.0 and Google will name it Key Lime Pie. Yes! Finally we can say that the rumors are true because recently a Google software engineer shared an image on his Google+ page which showed the roadmap of the Android OS. As you can see in the picture below it started from Cupcake and it ends with Key Lime Pie. Another important thing to see is, the first cartoon shows how Android is started at the beginning and final cartoon shows how Android is performing currently. So what are the features you expect in Key Lime Pie?
