Although 2008 might not seem that long ago, the Android of 2013 is a world away from the 2008 version, when the Android Market was in its infancy, there were no native video playback capabilities, and the G1 had no multi-touch support. As the smartphone market has become more cut-throat, Google has had to keep innovating and improving its OS to stay competitive. Having witnessed the meteoric rise of Android over the past five years, and seen the new features and functionality that Google has added, coupled with the latest mobile trends and a decent idea of where smartphones are currently heading, we’ve taken a peek into the future to consider what Android might look like in the year 2020. In particular, we look at four key features we think could play the biggest part in Android’s ongoing evolution over the next seven years.
