Considering your screen name, I'm not surprised.

Android 6.0 is confirmed to be "Marshmallow".


Seems too easy/obvious, but there it is.

Maybe we'll get Moonpie 'N RC Cola on the next alphabet cycle.

Properly implemented apps to sd card, user control on new app permissions, better security model - I predict the next new favorite of Android is coming, no flop.

So Google HAS been listening! Excellent then. Dunno what security model they could have improved on besides the new Stagefright.. Like a "BlackBerry" style security? (I'm clueless about the details). Hopefully that also means no more (Bad Apple!) devices without external SD.

 

[codesplice]

Well that's fun to watch.

You'll have to wait for a device with the 810 to receive the update

So I guess @palmtree5 wins the prize.

Not sure what the prize is, but he totally won this thing. Congrats!

Hopefully he'll receive Marshmallow, depending on his device.

Could be referring to the fact that Google will release monthly security patches.

HaHa. Well, you're off the hook for my new Moto. I guess Mars, Inc. didn't pay off enough.

He gets the same prize as last year's winner ... a lifetime membership to AF, a special emoji named after him, and a copy of Star Trek Insurrection on Blue Ray.

Should mention that the blu-ray was actually burned on Lunatic's computer after being converted from the VHS tape he recorded it on 20 years ago.
