There’s also a new Chromecast Audio gizmo you can plug into any speaker’s 3.5mm audio jack to turn it into a mobile streamer. In addition to unveiling Marshmallow, Google announced an updated Chromecast 2.0 media streaming device with a new disk-like design and a 5GHz WiFi-ac radio. Yet, along with the faster release rollouts and substantial Android M Developer Previews, it’s a step in the right direction. It’s a long way from the level of transparency - let alone public input - of the desktop Linux world or projects like Tizen and Firefox OS where upcoming releases are pawed over in alphas and betas for many months. Google seems less concerned these days about keeping its Android plans secret. The Android 6.0 announcement was also a reflection of the past, or at least of the last few months of leaked information.
Based on Android 5.0 “Lollipop”, most other major Android devices that run Lollipop should be onboard before the end of the year or early 2016. The same goes for Google’s newly tipped Pixel-C tablet, due in December (see below).

In the case of the Android 6.0 (“Marshmallow”) update announced yesterday, however, owners of recent Nexus devices can start downloading next week, and those who buy the newly announced Nexus devices - the LG-made, 5.2-inch, Nexus 5X, and Huawei’s 5.7-inch Nexus 6P - will feast on Marshmallow when the devices ship in October. Not so many years ago, the introduction of a major new Android release was more like looking six months or more into the future when your phone just might become eligible for upgrade.
