Come on factory images
My Note 4 is now on Craigslist.
Where did you get them for $5?

Don't get robbed.
It would be the first recorded incident of someone getting robbed for their Samsung.
I think all those awards they won with the M7(and the M8 on a lesser note) have really gone to their heads.

Canadian prices for the S6:
good god lol. So the BASE model of the S6 edge is going to run you 400 bucks after taxes. That's ON contract.
GG.

My wallet is about to get much lighter.
On a positive note, hopefully that means the Edge won't be too common

So it seems like Samsung is following Apple's strategy this cycle. I wonder how it will work out for them. I'm honestly hoping it works because I want to see Android make more money.
Google a software exorcist confirmed.
BE GONE, DEMONS! HALLELUJAH!

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
The Nexus 5 getting 5.1 before the N6 just further demonstrates that the N6 is a bastard. I understand if the N6 got 5.1 before the N5 so Google can give attention to its latest phone. It happened when the N5 succeeded the N4. But this time, damn, N6 is bastard confirmed.
I think it's more to do with some weird requirement or deal with Verizon, so it can debut in their phone. I mean it's already allegedly on those devices, they just haven't rolled it out yet

Really tempted to ditch my G3 tomorrow for the VZW Nexus 6. Gotta go back to stock, and never go back.

Debut 5.1 on a phone you could have bought elsewhere for months? That doesn't make any sense.

Makes it even worse that the announcement had the N6 featured on it. would love to know what Google is thinking with releasing these updates in such a weird way.
He's right though. They are advertising how 5.1 debuts on the Verizon Nexus 6.
Well. This'll probably be the only update a Verizon Nexus is going to get.
You can flash any stock N6 image to a Verizon N6. At least, in theory.
Pull-to-Refresh has finally hit Chrome (Android).

useless until chrome supports tap-to-top of page.
5.1 was doing so well. It might be a rogue app or something, but in the last couple of hours I've been getting weird slowdowns and lags. Had a few home screen redraws as well. Nothing quite as serious as before, though, so that's a huge plus.
Won't reboot though. I need to see if this is just a passing thing, app gone rogue or if it's a mem leak of some sort.
edit: as for pull to refresh in Chrome... why not make it a double swipe down so you can refresh from anywhere on the page? It's not very useful without being able to quickly go to the top otherwise.

new pocketcasts update looks fantastic!
I hate waiting for OTA updates
Guess I'm gonna take the time to flash my nexus 5 to 5.1 this weekend, sigh. Apple makes this so much easier. Once it's out it's out. No waiting bullshit.

How in the hell can they still not have this? Would make gaf browsing all the easier. At least GAF has that little arrow to help you go up/down but it really should be a browser feature
So help me if Apple doesn't drop 16GB as the baseline for their 2015 phones, people need to start sitting their teacups down and get busy rioting.

The Z3 is great. Really, really great. Fast, screen is superb, touch response is excellent, it feels nice in my hand, the size is manageable and it just works.

Nexus 5 and the Pixel is now gone from the play store (No longer for sale)
As is the Nexus 6 Folio case for some odd reason

Do you ever get keyboard lag using the Xperia Keyboard? I find that happens occasionally

Already switched to the Google keyboard and that doesn't have any issues. Sony's own apps are hit an miss though, my experience of Sony's keyboard on my Z tablet is not great.

Oh a new pixel https://store.google.com/product/chromebook_pixel_2015
doesn't look any different, just an internal change then.

Is there any phone that doesn't "just work"?
USB-C, quick charge, spec bump and OK Google support. Not bad, but I'd still rather just use Windows anyway.

Looks like Google also have a new store https://store.google.com/ "Free P&P" well it's about time too!
I think it's nice but the price point is a little high even though I really like chrome OS. seems all the other chromebooks are missing from that store :O

Is this more powerful than the new Macbook?
Doesn't say. Says 5th generation, but it could still be a Core M, although I'd hope not.

And now the rumours of a 2015 nexus "5" starts again xD
Would have expected the new pixel to be shown at I/O (which is soon isn't it?)
I'm the opposite if they brought out a tablet with Chrome OS id be all over that!
I'd assume it was due to the "premium" price. with the premium price of this the N6 I really hope Google aren't becoming Apple have to admit I hated paying the price for the N6.
