Good new for Nexus owners....

After an extended testing and preview period, Google has announced the final release of Android L, its latest version of the world's most popular mobile platform. Android 5.0 Lollipop is debuting on three new Nexus devices — the Nexus 6 smartphone, Nexus 9 tablet, and Nexus Player streaming media device — and will be available on the Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and Google Play Edition devices in the coming weeks.

EDIT: "the software development kit and system images for Nexus 5 phones and Nexus 7 tablets on Friday".

One of the coolest features of lollipop 🍭
One touch set up.
Simply touch your new lollipop device to your old device and lollipop will set up user accounts and setting automatically as well as start recovering apps from Google play as they are on the old device.
Now That's how you;
1 simplify things perfectly.
2 utilise nfc for its exact purpose.
