The Android Wear portion was kinda lackluster...showing us a build that's already out (well for most watches)
Also save to assume the next Nexus will have a fingerprint scanner. Don't like them using the Nexus 6 to demo it though even if it wasn't a proper demo -_-

question is do BOTH. I'm almost positive huawei will have one. If there really is a smaller LG nexus...will it have one too. I hope :S
also I lol'd at the fake fingerprint demo on the nex6.

I'd assume both will ave it since Google themselves are in with the pay thing.
I assume that android pay is US only atm? unless they talk about it more later on in the keynote? (just at the internet of things atm which is boooooring)
Lol the M easter egg just makes an Ascii man shrugging appear
EDIT: Ewwwww the app drawer....what have they done!!

Doing things that don't make sense is the name of the game at google.
Fingerprint + USB C is going to be amazing. Unfortunately, I'll probably get Verizoned.

This is true
They said with M they were using ideas from other places/people but I don't see any of those ideas.
The website https://photos.google.com/ is available now. Google still uploads my pictures to Google+ even though they said it's a separate service. So this new site is just another viewer for Google+ Photos. Liars.

Have you tried out the dark theme?
So along with the new Photos app, there's also a new desktop client to backup photos?
https://photos.google.com/apps
Under "Desktop Uploader"

Makes sense. Most people still have photos stored in their computers. This would put them all on the cloud and pad their Photos collection.
Fantastic, using it to backup all of my iPhotos on my mac. It'll be nice to have all of my photos accessible on my iPad/GS6 without having to have them loaded up locally.
But there is. #nonnexus

So is Google updating the existing Photo's app or is this a new app completely? and it's uploading the pictures to somewhere else and not G+ anymore?
Damn the animations in M are gorgeous.

It's a new app. It's also tied to your G+ account.
whoops, I meant to type multiwindow
Yeah. There is if you have a Samsung or LG device.
The S6 lets you create up to like 5 small windows Note 4 style.

So it's still G+ but also uploads to this new site?
It's been separate for a while so it's just a update. At least I think it is. I tried adding it to my mom's phone and it was already installed.

Not sure if legit, but saw this in the Android Police comments:
We already knew Google was working on it, according to AP.

The Verge reviewed the old Photos app thinking it was the new one.

Looks like the current Supersu zip works.
Anyone with Android M can you connect your phone to the PC to put anything on the storage?
I'm talking about multiwindow support being built into stock android.
I know you were.
Shock and awe. Stock isn't as great as everyone tries to push it being when it comes to features.

Lol the quick settings menu can be swiped down anywhere on the Nexus 9 now but if you try to change the brightness the toggle goes back to the centre xD
Great news. F everyone against cheap SD storage.

between that and their new flip-flop solution on Micro SD, i'd say they're taking inspiration from Windows Phone
