It's official, the new version is Lollipop and there's already a cute green Android guy holding the appropriate candy at Google's headquarters.

The new Nexus 6 manufactured by Motorola for Google is a gorgeous, solid device. Google says the device is aimed at the premium market. The 6-inch device comes in black or white.

The backside camera has an f.20 lens and a 13 megapixel sensor.

Two frontside speakers will blast your music so the entire bus can hear it.

In Lollipop, the all apps view--now known as Overview--shows everything you've recently run, and data persists across sessions. You can also see multiple windows from the same app---like one window for compose in Gmail, and another for your inbox.

Notifications may be the best thing about Lollipop. This ambient display mode on the Nexus 6 will light up the display in a low power mode. You can see and touch notifications to take action on them without eating up lots of battery power.

If you're wondering how the Nexus 6 stacks up to the iPhone 6 Plus in terms of size, the former is slightly wider and noticeably thicker.

This smart guest mode will let other people log into your device---and even into their Google accounts--yet everything they do will remain sandboxed within the guest mode. You (or they) can wipe the account once they're finished without affecting your master account.

The Nexus 9 tablet also comes in black and white---and gold as well. The back side has a tacky feel that's easy to grip, and at 425 grams, it's very lightweight. Google is pitching this as a productivity, work-forward device. It's selling a magnetic keyboard separately to help you get things done.

The Nexus 9 also has two front side speakers. So while this may be a work device—or pitched as one—with the speakers and 8.9-inch QXGA 2048 x 1536 display it also makes a fine multimedia plaything.

Guest mode was super easy to set up and use on these Lollipop devices. Again, it's another thing that will make the Nexus 9 great for playing videos and games, since you can safely hand off the device to friends.
