Android Lollipop Review: The Sweetest Flavour... by Donfolu: 2:50pm On Nov 11, 2014
After rumours of Android Liquorice and Android Lemon Meringue Pie, Google has now revealed it settled on Android Lollipop. It’ll be launching on the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 devices before making its way out to the rest of the Android manufacturers.
Here are some of it's features...

Multiple profiles and guest account
Android tablet owners have had the benefit of multiple user accounts for a while now. Lollipop brings user profiles to smartphones as well.
Having separate accounts means that your email, web bookmarks and other personal stuff can't be seen by someone else.

New Soft keys
It may be more of a cosmetic change than a functional one, but Google has ditched the traditional look of the Android soft keys at the bottom of the screen and has adopted something rather more stylish.


Introduction of Android Beam!
Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly have any more ways to share things inside Android, Google serves up a mighty new addition for the OS’s sharing menu in the form of Android Beam. Android Beam is an NFC sharing protocol that allows for the rapid transmission of data between two devices that are in close proximity to one another.


Notifications
Notifications have long been a strong point of Android. They now appear as cards on the lock screen and you can now respond directly by double-tapping on them. You can't respond without going to the relevant app, though, which is one of the better features in iOS 8.
As a brief aside, the lock screen now shows an estimate of how long your phone or tablet will take to fully charge. You can also see roughly how much time is left before you need to recharge in the Battery menu.


Security
Security has been improved in Lollipop, although we've already talked about the main changes: Guest mode and user profiles which stop others seeing your stuff.
One other feature is Smart Lock which lets you pair your Android phone or tablet with a trusted device such as a Google Wear smartwatch or even your car (via Android Auto).
Bluetooth and NFC-enabled devices can also be used to unlock the device, and when the phone or tablet moves out of range, it automatically locks.

will you rock this new OS? It has been officially released on Google Nexus 9 tablet...
