The Android Lollipop release is finally here, and it's the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to Google's mobile platform. We'll talk about that with the assistance of some Nexus 9 review units in our Gadgets in Hand segment, and we'll touch on when you can expect Lollipop to land on your device. Before that, though, it's been a big week if you're in the market for an Apple Watch or a Microsoft cloud solution: you can now start saving the money from the latter to help pay for the former. And speaking of Microsoft – it's been a while since we've countenanced a new Windows Phone around these parts, so today we'll be unboxing the Nokia Lumia 830 live on the air!
