I've been waiting for this for ages. I use Google for cloud storage and having the photos but tied in to G+ has never been ideal.

Developer home page on Play.
That's pretty cool if it's user searchable

Android Milkshake confirmed.
(thanks @Shabbypenguin
)(Also, I added a bunch of links to the OP. Let me know if anything obvious is missing.)

Modular permissions, better standby power management - both sound good.
USB-C and built-in fingerprint support announced, so I guess we can predict 2 features of this year's Nexus phone(s)

You may be right but given their past history, I decided to ftfy.

Whoa code dammit you're right! Milkshake it is then
I'm pretty sure it's a universal law that none of my tech-related predictions can actually come true. So I just spoiled Milkshake for everyone. Sorry guys.

As somebody who's been using Google Photos for the last 2 years and taking my photos at full resolution, the unlimited backup is music to my ears. I'm currently at about 50% capacity.
Milkshake is not confirmed. Google's notorious for that crap. Key Lime Pies were popping up all the time in 2013, then we got KitKat.
So.....should i go for LG or Huawei for my NexTus?

Idk but I'm off to look into getting me some cardboard....

I saw that while he was on stage and and I cared about was that that was the Huawei.
You may be right - we'll just have to wait for more rumors.
I loved the closing jab at how Google has better balloon tech than NASA - I think someone didn't like the ribbing that Project Loon earned.
Forget Google FIOS.
Skynet will begin as a worldwide network of balloons.
There will be no carriers and there will be no impediments to Google delivering the total content, from things, to cars, to virtual reality, or anything else.
The revolution has just been televised.

Well if the rumours are true that it's a large LG or a Huawei phablet then I'll personally be checking the LG's specs and reviews (but also keeping an eye on what others have in the pipeline).
I would welcome a Huawei Nexus - should be reasonably priced, too!
Because no one wants to just be able to plug in a headset - it's G1 style or bust!

Better have a full qwerty keyboard
M images are up!

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed that the 2013 N7 Wifi isn't on that list.

So is that end of life for flo?

Noooooo not the grouper!! (dropped a pint glass on mine a couple of months ago and goosed the digitiser anyway lol)
Most likely. My 2012 N7 never took to kindly to lollipop, so I'm not overly fussed tbh.
They'd a pretty good run, to be fair.

Ahh I love it. The pinch thing isn't as snappy for me as the demo but it's really really nicely done. Full of lollipop goodness 
EDIT whoa has anyone tried the search function? How the hell does that work?? I just searched "sunshine" and it showed all my sunny pics

Does a pretty good job of automatically grouping images based on content, too.
