    Android M Preview

    Who has or will try the M developer preview? I didn't do the L preview, just because I was hyper-worried about keeping my warranty intact for any possible reason. This time, I'd like to. But I'd also like to wait for others to try it for a while and see what it can, can't, or won't do...

    I just got a notice about 5.1.1 on my N5. Hadn't seen much about it, so I tossed caution to the wind and installed it. Only had it about an hour now, so not much to report. Was curious if anyone else that got it has noticed anything yet. ~Gary
