Android 5.0 Lollipop wallpapers are now available for download, largely as a result of the updated developer preview images of the OS which were released a while back. This has more or less become a tradition with every new major release of Android, and this time users can adorn their screen with some Lollipop wallpapers - if not the OS itself.
“Will my device be getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update?”, is the question on every excited Android user’s mind. While it’s safe to say that devices other than the Nexus 4, 5, 7, and 10 will be receiving the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, it will be naive to expect more than a few handful devices to receive Android’s latest and greatest.
Android L finally got a proper name in the form of Lollipop, the latest addition to Google's growing collection of sweets and desserts that signify Android - the open-source operating system for smartphones, tablets and wearables. With Android 5.0 Lollipop not only did Google introduce the gorgeous new Material Design UI - which, by the way, actually does wonders on the Android aesthetics front - but also a slew of new features. As with any major OS release, the biggest question with Android Lollipop also remains as to when you can get it on your device for actual use. Well, some reliable sources say that the Nexus 7 (both 2012 and 2013-Wi-Fi variants) and the Nexus 10 will be getting Android Lollipop as early as November 3rd this year.

There's good news on the horizon for members of the Google Glass Explorers initiative. As part of the continued development of the internal software that powers Google's intelligent eyewear, the company has introduced a new feature that will allow users to view all phone notifications via Glass. As things stand at the moment, Glass owners are only able to view and interact with notifications that are presented as part of Glass compatible apps. This will be extended to fall in line with the notification-forwarding system that allows Android Wear wearables to receive every notification as it's received on the connected device.
There will always be people wanting to argue over which device is best. Is it the latest and greatest phone to come out of Apple's Cupertino design labs, or Samsung's newest Android-powered Galaxy S effort?
