Google Unleashes Android Lollipop, New Nexus 6, 9

Android Lollipop will debut on the new Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet.

Following months of speculation, Google today announced that the next version of its mobile operating system will be known as Android 5.0 Lollipop, and the first devices to sport it will include the new Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet.

The next-gen OS, first teased at Google I/O as "Android L," will also roll out to existing Nexus 5, 7, 10, and Google Play-edition devices over the next few weeks.

The 6-inch Nexus 6, made by Motorola, sports a Quad HD display, a 13-megapixel camera (with Optical Image Stabilization and HDR+), and dual front-facing stereo speakers. It also comes with a 3,220mAh battery, plus a Turbo Charger for up to six hours of use with only 15 minutes of charge.

Nexus 6 will be available to pre-order through the Google Play Store later this month. It comes in Midnight Blue or Cloud White, with the option for 32GB or 64GB of storage, starting at $649.

The massive handset will also go on sale via Motorola.com and carrier partners starting in November. It will eventually make its way to 28 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America early next year.

Motorola also plans to bring the upgraded Android OS to its first- and second-generation Moto X and Moto G handsets, as well as the Moto G with 4G LTE, Moto E, and Droid lineup—the Ultra, Maxx, and Mini.

Those looking to replace an old Nexus tablet, meanwhile, can pick up an HTC-developed Nexus 9, with brushed-metal sides and an 8.9-inch screen. Whether you're using the slate for work or play, Google has designed a separate keyboard folio to magnetically attach to the Nexus 9; it folds into two angles and rests securely on your lap like a laptop.

Google also unveiled the first device running Android TV—the Nexus Player. In collaboration with Asus, the streaming media player offers access to movies, music, and videos, and serves as a first-of-its-kind Android gaming device.

"With Nexus Player you can play Android games on your HDTV with a gamepad, then keep playing on your phone while you're on the road," Pichai boasted. The round device can also cast entertainment from any Chromebook or Android or iOS phone or tablet to your TV.

Fans can pre-order the Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus Player starting Friday, before they hit stores on Nov. 3. Pricing was not revealed.

Lollipop, meanwhile, sports Material Design, which promises the same user interface across devices.

"Lollipop is made for a world where moving throughout the day means interacting with a bunch of different screens—from phones and tablets to TVs," Android Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai said in a blog post. "With more devices connecting together, your expectation is that things just work."

Google's new cross-device system makes it easier to pick up where you left off, whether listening to music, scrolling through photos, or utilizing your favorite apps. You can even continue a search query from one gadget to another.

The latest Android update comes with multiple user accounts and guest user mode, as well as default encryption. You can also secure your device with a PIN, password, pattern, or via Smart Lock, which pairs it with another gadget—say your compatible car or smartwatch.

Additional controls include the ability to mute contacts and notifications at particular times—an important meeting, a romantic dinner—so only certain messages or calls appear.

Perhaps the most consumer-friendly feature, though, is Lollipop's new battery-saver feature, which promises to extend the life of your device by up to 90 minutes.

Google teased its new operating system on Tuesday, releasing a video featuring auditions for various L-titled desserts, including lemon meringue pie, lava cake, lady fingers, and lemon drops. And while one-time contender licorice made two blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearances, no one dressed as a lollipop showed up for the casting call.

"With the latest release of Android Lollipop, we're excited to continue working with our developer community, hardware partners, and all of you," Pichai said in a blog entry. "More ideas and more creators is what gets us all to better ideas faster."

Google this week also released three animated ads, featuring Androidified characters jamming out to the new slogan: "be together. not the same." The leaked videos showcase the new Nexus 6 phablet and the Google Wear smartwatch OS.

Windows 10 Announced By Microsoft In San Francisco

Microsoft has officially announced Windows 10, not Windows 9 like most people were expecting. It looks to be a rather big update and at the event in San Francisco, Microsoft only revealed small parts of the new update.

Windows 10 will be available for all types of devices, anything from a four-inch smartphone to an 80-inch TV. Microsoft is looking for incredible scalability as well, with Windows 10 able to run on a small microprocessor or on something fit for Azure servers.

Windows 10 is for everyone – and it runs deeper than the scale. Microsoft has turned back on the radical ideas of Windows 8, the Metro UI and full touch-interface, replacing it with a more timid crossover between Windows 7 and Windows 8.

windows 10
This crossover looks to be the bridge in the gap we all want. It brings back the Start Menu, but with a new funky Metro UI. For power users, Microsoft is adding Task View and Snap Attachments, to give second or third monitor users more room to work and be productive.

Microsoft is also pushing Windows 10 to the enterprise, with more security, a simple interface that does not need to be “taught” to employees and a bigger split between personal and professional accounts.

Windows 10 comes with some of the more controversial Windows 8 features, like the Charms menu and the Metro UI for Touch. Microsoft has toned down these features and looks to make them only for touch users, keeping keyboard and mouse users happy.

What we didn’t get from the announcement were facts. We still don’t know how much Windows 10 will cost, if it will be a subscription model or free for Windows 8 buyers. We do know that it will be released after BUILD on April 2015, but Microsoft wouldn’t talk about universal apps or Windows Phone.

Microsoft to reveal the official name of Windows 9 next week

Is the next version of Microsoft’s desktop operating system going to be called Threshold, Windows 9 or simply Windows? It sounds like all will be revealed on Tuesday at a special press event being held in San Francisco — fresh reports in the press suggest the moniker for the software will be one of the big reveals of the presentation, so start your guessing now.

According to Reuters, the software could be given an entirely new brand name or be called simply “Windows” from now on. Up to this point the next edition of Windows has been called “Threshold” within the company and “Windows 9″ outside of it, but those names may not feature at all. Reuters says the name change “is symbolic of a new direction and style for Microsoft, which is veering away from an aggressive focus on Windows and PC.”

Earlier this week the President of Microsoft France referred to the software as “Windows 9″ only for one of his colleagues to later suggest that a decision on the name still hasn’t been made. The idea that Microsoft is still thinking about how to name Windows was given further credence by a email Windows chief Terry Myerson sent to the Verge.

With Windows Phone and the Xbox One to think about, it’s possible that Microsoft could move towards a single brand name for all of these platforms. The company will certainly want to repair some of the damage done by Windows 8, a mix of desktop and tablet interfaces that hasn’t so far sat well with consumers. One of the major rumors surrounding Windows 9 is that the Start menu will finally make a comeback.

Windows 9 changes and new features: Everything we know so far

Microsoft is all set to officially unveil Windows 9 at a special event on September 30 — and so we thought it would be a good time to run through everything that we already know about Microsoft’s new operating system. Most of these features and changes are reliably sourced from people close to the development of Windows 9 or from leaked builds of the Windows 9 Technical Preview. We’ll also update this story with an official list of Windows 9 features when Microsoft starts releasing public beta builds next week. In short, if you want to find out about Windows 9, this is the place to be.

After the very poor response to Windows 8, and the bitter taste it left in the mouths of millions of users, Windows 9 is a very important release for Microsoft. On the one hand, it needs to rectify Windows 8′s wrongs and offer normal PC users a reason to upgrade from Windows XP or 7. On the other hand, Microsoft continues to lose ground in the mobile sector as well. Windows 9 will actually have to be the jack of all trades, rather than Windows 8′s rather ignominious status as the master of none. How will Microsoft do this? Well, let’s take a look.

Windows 9 for desktop and laptop users

The Start menu returns. After a few years of claiming that the Metro-style Start screen was just as good for mouse-and-keyboard use as touchscreen use, Microsoft has finally backed down. Windows 9 will have a Start menu on the Desktop; the left side will look a lot like the standard Windows 7 Start menu, but the right side will have the option of being populated with Metro-style live tiles. The left side of the menu will adopt a new Metro-like look, too — though you may be able to configure it to look like the good ol’ Windows 7 Start menu.

Virtual desktops. In Windows 9, you will have the option of using virtual desktops. Right now you just have one desktop per monitor — but with virtual desktops, you can switch between as many desktops as you like. This is a popular power user feature that has been present on some Linux window managers and via third-party Windows tools for years — but now it’ll be native in Windows 9.

Metro apps on the Desktop. Rather than forcing you into the full-screen Metro interface, Windows 9 will let you run Metro apps on the Desktop in a window. In theory this will mean that mouse-and-keyboard users might now actually use Metro apps, which in turn might kickstart the arrival of some better apps in the Windows Store. Or not.

Windows 9 Desktop, showing a new, very flat Explorer (note the new icon too)

Desktop interface overhaul. It’s not entirely clear yet, but it seems the Windows 9 Desktop will receive a graphical overhaul, to make it even flatter. The leaked Windows 9 Technical Preview shows some flatter icons and thinner window borders — and I suspect we’ll see some further UI changes in later preview builds. (If you recall, the first Windows 8 Developer Preview still looked a lot like Windows 7, and became more flat and less opaque as the development process went on.) Curiously, there does appear to be a drop shadow behind the Explorer window in the Windows 9 screenshot above — Windows 8 got rid of a lot of shadows, so it would be interesting if they made a return.

The Metro interface may be removed. In the last few months, there has been rumblings from Redmond that the Windows 9 experience might be formally split in two: A Metro-only experience for touchscreen/tablet users, and a Desktop-only experience for mouse-and-keyboard users. One of the biggest complaints of Windows 8 is the way it forces you into the Metro interface when you’re using a mouse and keyboard, and the Desktop interface when you’re using a touchscreen. It isn’t clear if the Metro interface will be removed entirely from “Windows 9 for the Desktop” — more realistically, to cater for users of hybrids and touchscreen laptops, there’ll just be a check box somewhere for “never show me the Metro interface.”

Lots of other tweaks to the Windows 9 Desktop. In addition to all of the above, the Charms bar is also being removed (from the Desktop interface at least; it might hang around on touchscreen devices). The Technical Preview has a Notifications panel that pops up from the bottom right corner (video above), though I don’t think this is its final format or placement. There will also likely be tweaks for multi-monitor and high-res (hi-dpi) setups, too.
