Gizmoup.com – Kehadiran sistem operasi Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie memang sudah dinanti-nanti. Banyak kalangan berharap bahwa OS robot hijau terbaru tersebut akan diumumkan pada konferensi Google I/O. Namun gelaran Google I/O telah selesai diselenggarakan namun belum ada kejelasan mengenai kapan Android Key Lime Pie ini akan dirilis.
Sebuah rumor kembali menyeruak, kabarnya Google akan meluncurkan genersi terabru Android 5.0 pada bulan Oktober 2013. Selain itu, dikabarkan pula bahwa kehadiran Key Lime Pie di kaitkan dengan kemunculan Motorola X Phone. Konon, berbagai rumor menyebutkan bahwa keduanya akan hadir bersamaan.
Jika memang demikian maka besar kemungkinan bahwa Motorola X Phone merupakan ponsel pertama yang berjalan dengan Android Key Lime Pie. Belum bisa dipastikan apakah akan seperti iyu, namun jika melihat sekilas ketika Galaxy Nexus pertama kali diluncurkan. Handset tersebut adalah perangkat pertama yang menggunakan Android Ice Cream Sandwich sebagai sistem opersinya.
Seperti yang dilansir situs Know Your Mobile, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie ini akan jadi sebuah OS yang sangat dioptimalkan, bahkan mampu berjalan dengan sangat baik pada perngakat dengan dukungan RAM yang hanya 512 MB sekalipun.
Pastinya Google memberikan perubahan besar pada OS robot hijau terbarunya ini. Mengingat para kompetitornya sudah melakukan inovasi dan perubahan besar-besaran. Saat ini iOS 7 milik Apple tengah dipersiapkan dengan berbagai perubahan besar, demikian pula dengan Windows Phone. Tentunya raksasa Google tak ingin ketinggalan dari mereka.

As we approach the rumored date for Android 4.3′s launch on June 20 (at least, that’s what our sources say), many have already come to the realization that we should not expect Google to introduce a new interface for the OS. It will still be called Jelly Bean and nothing too crazy will happen. What most in the business have their money on is that we can expect to see Google change up Android’s look in the iteration after next, being Android 5.0 “Key Lime Pie.” That’s when we will see some new colors, icons, wallpapers, etc. take place.

Graphic designers appear to be already creating their very own concepts for what they would like to see in Android 5.0, playing more with lockscreen widgets and revising the Android homescreen look. Artist Jinesh Shah took to his Google+ page recently to post up a few pictures of his own ideas, some of which we have become big fans of. While it comes off as minimal and clean, there is enough information on any given homescreen and the lockscreen to give off the sense that this concept would be highly functional and practical for users.

The lockscreen widget shows a comprehensive look at this user’s upcoming meeting, even showing a map preview of its location. Below that, we can see upcoming flight details, all of which would be able to be customized under new settings that would come with KLP. As for the homescreen changes, what sets this concept apart from others is the idea of “hidden” widgets. With swipes and other gestures, you could reveal other widgets that don’t necessarily have to be on your homescreen when not being used. It’s a fantastic concept, one that we probably wouldn’t mind seeing implemented.
