Today's Story Highlights

Enter the Nexus Dragon
Google on Wednesday announced three new devices in its Nexus line: a
tablet, a phablet, and a streaming media game player-cum-Android TV
device, all of which run Lollipop, the latest version of its Android OS.
Lollipop lets users sync content from phones to tablets to TVs and use
it seamlessly. It has a consistent design across devices so transitions
between tasks are more fluid.

Find My iPhone? Find Me! Lost Phone Feature Helps Rescuers Locate Crashed Car
A woman whose car rolled 500 feet down an embankment near San Jose,
California, was located through the Find My iPhone feature on her
smartphone after spending 19 hours in the ravine where her Chevy Cruze
ended up. The OnStar feature in her car triggered two calls to police,
at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Monday, but neither pinpointed the location of her
car.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edges Out iPhone 6 Plus: Reviewers
The first reviews are out on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, unveiled last
month in Berlin, and they're generally positive. "The best big-screen
phone you can buy right now," screams one headline. "A phablet that can
teach Apple a few things," says another. "The best Android phablet rules
with a pen," declares a third. "I'm not sure where the good story is on
this," said tech analyst Jeff Orr.

Skype Qik Video Chat: Shoot, Send, Vaporize
Microsoft on Tuesday released Skype Qik, a new mobile chat app that
features short, self-destructing video messages that automatically self-
destruct in two weeks -- or sooner if set to do so. Skype need not be
installed on a mobile to use Qik, which runs on Android, iOS and Windows
phones and is available for free from the Google Play, the iTunes App
Store and the Windows Phone Store.

Lollipop Could Make Android Stickier
Google on Wednesday unwrapped Android 5.0 Lollipop, officially replacing
the "Android L" code name by which the latest version of its mobile
platform previously had been known. "Lollipop is our largest, most
ambitious release on Android, with over 5,000 new APIs for developers,"
wrote Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president for Android, Chrome
& Apps, in a blog post.
