Last week I told you about the all new Google Hangouts 4.0 that was released for Android as well as iOS (with a few less functions).  If you haven’t tried it out, do yourself a favor.  This is not the old Hangouts.  It’s far smoother an experience and generally a much nicer experience.  As part of that release, Google has quietly released a Google Hangouts website that allows you to use your browser to be your Hangouts app.  Like the apps for the mobile devices, it’s buttery smooth and beautifully designed.

Just a few hours ago the final Android Marshmallow preview was released and now you can download the official wallpapers from the release.  In total there are nine wallpapers that came in the release and I’ve got them all for you to download on the Wallpaper page.

Collecting first release wallpapers is somewhat of a hobby for many Android enthusiasts but the same is true for iOS and Windows Phone users too.  Each OEM seem to have a unique set of wallpapers that they release with their devices and of course Google is going to release their own with a new build of Android, just like Apple does with iOS.

Just a bit ago I shared with you the official naming of the next version of Android, Android Marshmallow.  In that post I hinted that the final preview should be coming this week and indeed Google has already released it.  In a post on the Google Android Marshmallow developer site, the final preview has been released along with the official 6.0 SDK to developers.  It is a milestone event for the release and likely signals release is just a matter of weeks away.

After a weekend full of teases and speculation for the last couple of months, we now know the name of Android M.  When the next version of Android is launched later this year it will be known as Android Marshmallow, or likely just Marshmallow by users.  The official statue of Android Marshmallow was unveiled today on the Google campus as has been the practice since the Froyo days.  The guessing game by users has been rampant these past few weeks, with guesses ranging from M&Ms to Meringue to of course Marshmallow.
