The Nexus 9 also comes packed with Android 5.0 Lollipop, the latest iteration of Google's mobile operating system. The updated operating system provides for more connectivity among other Android devices. For those Android fans who have an Android smartphone and Android Wear watch to go with their Android tablet, Lollipop makes it so that users can listen to music or browse the Internet on their phone and then transition to their tablet without losing anything they were doing. They can pick up right where they left off without missing a beat.
Lollipop is also introducing new battery-saving features and more security measures to make sure your tablet responds only to you.
