Android 4.3: Impatience, Nexus fever and slight jealousy

It's been a few days since the announcement and subsequent release of Google's latest Android Jelly Bean 4.3, and in that time - for those of us on Google+, it's likely if you're an avid fan of Android, that in some way or another you've been inundated with screenshots from fellow Android fanatics and their devices' requests to update to 4.3.

It was all shared love amongst the community initially, and even those who hadn't yet received any such update we're gracious enough to offer commiserations to those now basking in the very freshest jelly beans on offer. Most of the aforementioned were, (and still) eagerly awaiting - frustrated that their Nexi hadn't yet received the update, and this is spurred folks to come to loathe the next screenshot of something they didn't have.

Generating hype for the Moto X

For the past few nights, I've found myself  facing recurring dreams. Whilst each varied in what took place, a common thread persisted in each - the Moto X.

Each dream is so real, so lucid, and yet I have absolutely no idea how I end up in each setting, and why I have a white Moto X in my possession. One of the stranger parts of these dreams are that each centre around the launch of the device, to which I am present at each, and eagerly awaiting the announcement, without any notion of why I have the device on me already.

It's torture, mainly because the dreams are so lucid. In each dream I can feel the texture of the back casing, I see how it sits in my own hand, the way its always-on voice commands can be used, and the way photos shot with the camera turn out. It's so near, yet so far.
