Yes, I am looking forwarded to it but could easily see being disappointed. I currently use the Note 3. It has been great. Used the Tweaked rom which has a large number of major modifications to greatly improve its functionality. There is very good support with themes and with Xposed modules some additional customizations make it nicer to use. I also can run Fedora and Ubuntu on it. Quite handy at times.

Besides the usual stuff like better performance. The main things I'd like to see are better camera, especillay low light, sound could be improved, a slightly wider screen. Rumoured improvements in screen resolution sound good. All the tech improvements should be good but what should not be overlooked is the ui and how well mail, text, phone, social media and such are integrated. Also look forward to Android L which will not come on it initially. I guess I could go on, but those are some of the biggies.

Strawberry rhubarb is also my favorite pie! But, with respect to Android you will have quite a wait as there is a long ways between the letter L and S in their OS naming scheme. Maybe by then they will get multitasking right! Actually by then, if not sooner most OS will probably have similar capabillities as more and more features become standardized...

Oh yes, I almost forgot... Two days to go. Hope it's not a dud and goes down with a thud...

The thing that makes a great pie is acrually not the pie but rather the attachments like cream and so forth.

American pie...

"On the eve of the National Pie Championships in Florida, it turns out that America's favorite pies are the old tried-and-true ones.

Apparently, the results of a nationwide poll by Schwan's Consumer Brands North America (the makers of Mrs. Smith's) surprised even them. When asked what their three favorite pies were, people chose apple pies a whopping 72 percent of the time (47 percent for plain apple pie, and 25 percent for apple-crumb pie). Second place may be even more of a shock.

That's because the silver medal went to pumpkin pie, with 37 percent of the vote. Chocolate-cream pie came in third with 32 percent, and cherry came in last of the top scorers, with a surprisingly middling 27 percent.

The exact results:

1. Apple, 47 percent
2. Pumpkin, 37 percent
3. Chocolate creme, 32 percent
4. Cherry, 27 percent
5. Apple crumb, 25 percent
6. Pecan, 24 percent
7. Lemon Meringue, 24 percent
8. Blueberry, 21 percent
9. Key lime, 18 percent
10. Peach, 16 percent

That's right. No strawberry-rhubarb, no banana cream, no shoo-fly. Key lime and peach pies found popularity in the Southern states, but apple was strong all across the board. Is America really that boring?

Interestingly, though, Key lime pie is the fastest growing frozen pie all across the country, according to the Schwan's people. Schwan's brand, Edward's Key lime pie, which just went from being only available in the South to being national, just overtook its apple pie as having the most sales. (The company's own chef in the contest, Michael Gunn, has entered multiple categories, and said they weren't swayed by the polls. His favorite entries: mixed-berry pie, Key lime pie, and two-crust apple pie with a Cinnabon glaze. He probably didn't get much sleep last night, but said, "The sugar always keeps us going.")

Other polls in the survey (an online poll of 1,000 people across many demographic groups) included people's favorite fictional pie-makers:

1. Carol Brady ("The Brady Bunch"), 40 percent
2. Claire Huxtable ("The Cosby Show") 22 percent
3. Bree Van de Camp "Desperate Housewives"), 16 percent
4. Debra Barone ("Everybody Loves Raymond"), 13 percent
5. Marge Simpson ("The Simpsons"), 8 percent

But wasn't Debra Barone supposed to be an awful cook?

Finally, this being a survey conducted at the behest of a pie-making company, there was one more poll: "Who makes the best pie?"

1. Mom, 27 percent
2. Store-bought convenience pies, 26 percent
3. Grandma, 17 percent
"

Conventional wisdom has it that it is the crust that makes the pie.
