Developers may be free to release (almost) whatever they like for Android, but with Android TV, things are going to be a little different. Google will screen and approve Android TV apps before publishing them in the Play Store to ensure a good experience for its users, according to its guidelines for developers.

Google’s given a fresh lick of paint to many of its own Android apps for Lollipop, while others have been completely rebuilt from the ground up. One of those is Messenger, which replaces the aging Messaging hub and breathes new life into traditional text messaging.

T-Mobile was scheduled to begin selling the Nexus 6 in stores and online today, but the carrier has been forced to postpone its launch by one week. The reason for the delay, T-Mobile says, is to give customers “the best experience possible.”

AT&T will begin taking pre-orders for Google’s new Nexus 6 tomorrow, November 12, the carrier has confirmed. It will be available on AT&T Next plans from $22.77 a month, or you can pay $682.99 upfront to bag it without a two-year commitment.

Lollipop is the biggest Android upgrade we’ve seen in years. Not only does it add new features, but it also makes some significant changes to existing ones, and introduces a very attractive Material Design makeover. It’s is so significant, in fact, that it may take a bit of getting used to.

Google’s hoping to make that process easy with a free Quick Start Guide that’s available to download now from the Play Store.
