this episode of android weekly is brought to you by domain.com so we found a couple clues of what we can expect for Android M we also talked about what we want an Android M and you give us a poll in what you think the M in and read em will stand for Milky Way marshmallow muffin marzipan Arang marmalade macaron Maltesers Maltesers so Google i/o is next week and Google accidentally posted some information about their workshops regarding Android M they have since taken them down but we've scooped them for you and let's start with Android for work the biggest clue we do have about Android M came from the i/o scheduling description on an android for work update which was later removed it started with the line Android M is bringing the power of android to all kinds of workplaces it's possible Android M will offer more options for configuration and control and IT departments perhaps employee tracking will figure in their Android devices are already flooding into work spaces as part of the bring your own device to work trend and they are generally cheaper than alternatives and write M can make moves to capitalize on this trend it certainly looks like they will beef up security credentials we may see improvements in the smart lock feature and more user authentication techniques designed to make it easier to maintain security based on Android devices and for those of us who insist on texting while driving we expect to see more voice controls there is a chance that voice controls are going to be rolled out across the platform you'll be able to use them to navigate around your device with voice alone the speculation about this was based on another session that also seems to have been removed from the schedule from the sounds of it this could be focused on improving the Android auto experience but we really can't say for sure at this point now let's talk about what we really want to see I know it's a first world problem but let's talk unified notifications Android users with multiple devices will be familiar with this issue you get the same notification on your SmartWatch or smartphone on your tablet and you have to dismiss that notification on all three obviously you only need to see the notification once why can't Android work out which device to alert or at least dismiss the notification on all devices once you've dismissed it on one we're hoping to see some proper synchronization on notifications in Android M not everyone loves the notification system but google has been trying to improve it most recently with priority options a single hub for unified messaging from all your different email and messaging accounts is something we've seen people asking for repeatedly maybe by adding expand and reply options for everything that comes into your notification shade this existing system may become exactly that now I'm not personally a fan of this but a lot of you were looking for a split screen and floating apps it's been almost a year now since we suggested split-screen should come back to stock Android as screens get bigger it makes sense to be able to open a couple of apps at once it's especially handy on a tablet manufacturers have led the way with split screen options and floating apps it's about time Google baked it into the platform the problem with split screens and floating apps is that it can become cluttered and ugly very quickly how can the user designer make it in such a way that that doesn't happen I'd be interested if they could do that now allow me to dream for just a moment i can dream can I this is just my personal take I'm deviating from the article a little bit but what I'm looking for is a truly unified media hub now I know there's a little bit of this but I'm talking about a place where all my podcasts audiobooks videos all my media can be in one hub that syncs across multiple devices because I spend an inordinate amount of time deleting and adding content from one device because I started it on my phone and now I'm finishing on my tablet or my computer and stuff like that like it's crazy you spend them on a time adding stuff like this especially because storage space is so limited you should be able to automatically delete and remove things across multiple devices that's what I'm dreaming for what about you what are you dreaming for let me know in the comments below what is the number one feature you hope Android M will have now my number one choice didn't even make it on the pole but it looks like most of you think that Android M will actually be Android marshmallow I'm hoping for milkshake we'll see you know what I want to hear about your websites if you have a domain name for your business or your blog or just for your own personal fun I'd like to hear about it
