Android L, Android Lollipop review part 1

I think most of you guys sure had heard before of the yearly of the Google I/O right, Yes, it's unveiled on June 25, 2014 during Google I/O, it became available as official over-the-air (OTA) updates on November 12, 2014 for select devices that run distributions of Android serviced by Google, including Nexus and Google Play edition devices. Its source code was made available on November 3, 2014.

And the 1st of the Google Nexus device that 1st priority to get, yes is Nexus 6 , Nexus 9 tablet and Player the mini home machine 

and so on there is some explaination from developer android site,

Material design

New 3D views let you set a z-level to raise elements off of the view hierarchy and cast realtime shadows, even as they move.

Built-in activity transitions take the user seamlessly from one state to another with beautiful, animated motion. The material theme adds transitions for your activities, including the ability to use shared visual elements across activities.

You can also define vector drawables in XML and animate them in a variety of ways. Vector drawables scale without losing definition, so they are perfect for single-color in-app icons.Ripple animations are available for buttons, checkboxes, and other touch controls in your app.

A new system-managed processing thread called Render Thread keeps animations smooth even when there are delays in the main UI thread. [refer to the pictures]

Performance focus

---

Android 5.0 provides a faster, smoother and more powerful computing experience.

Android now runs exclusively on the new ART runtime, built from the ground up to support a mix of ahead-of-time (AOT), just-in-time (JIT), and interpreted code. It’s supported on ARM, x86, and MIPS architectures and is fully 64-bit compatible.

ART improves app performance and responsiveness. Efficient garbage collection reduces the number and duration of pauses for GC events, which fit comfortably within the v-sync window so your app doesn’t skip frames. ART also dynamically moves memory to optimize performance for foreground uses.

Android 5.0 introduces platform support for 64-bit architectures—used by the Nexus 9's NVIDIA Tegra K1. Optimizations provide larger address space and improved performance for certain compute workloads. Apps written in the Java language run as 64-bit apps automatically—no modifications are needed. If your app uses native code, we’ve extended the NDK to support new ABIs for ARM v8, and x86-64, and MIPS-64.

Continuing the focus on smoother performance, Android 5.0 offers improved A/V sync. The audio and graphics pipelines have been instrumented for more accurate timestamps, enabling video apps and games to display smooth synchronized content.

oh yeah, there was fully supporting miracasting aka screen casting, which was highlighted on the I/O... and u can use any gadgets [except: wearables]
