As they said, they're working on speed issues, but we keep seeing more and more breaks with each milestone. At this rate 1.0 will have more holes in it than swiss cheese. Seriously, if it weren't for tabs (and the hope for tabs in N6), this thing would go straight in the waist basket. Now when they bring it up to (first) the basic functionality of 4.7+, then they'll start to get market share back. I know they're struggling and have realized what a monster this thing has become, but it looks like we'll need a N7 to really see it shine.
