Hot news out of Google I/O:

Google will be releasing a preview of the next version of android tomorrow for both the nexus 7 (2013) and nexus 5.

Chances are this will not be OTA, but rather a factory image.

Enjoy! :D

what does a factory image mean?

A factory image is a file google provides that contains everything the phone ships with from the manufacturer. Google also provides one each time the device is updates to a new version of android.

Its more complicated than a simple OTA, but more than manageable for the average user to accomplish.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to provide the steps necessary.

However - note this is an early release. Its likely to have bugs and it may turn out to be considered no more than a "test drive" once people get a hold of it. We won't know til we get it, buy it seemed pretty solid today
