they're all laughing a lot of things within Android and that people will be really excited about VR being one of those things you know getting your VR headset and we felt that we could do a lot at the platform layer to make dr really shine on android other things include you know increased productivity you know Multi multi window being able to have two windows side by side two apps side by side I also think there's there's something to be said about just the base usability that the the how good the experience feels the base sort of operating system and that's something we've continued to focus on the idea is to allow you to very quickly flip between applications so if you just double tap reasons it's going to bring you to the last application you're in so in this case double tap i was in gmail and then let's imagine in gmail and I want to like create an event and I'm emailing my friend and I want to go back and forth between calendar what calendar was the last application I used before they're so if I just DoubleTap recents it flips back into calendar and I can check you know am I free come back to the email app I can start writing an email I start coordinating and I'm like oh actually let me take you another day flip back now another area that we have improved productivity landis notifications so the idea is that you can actually reply to a message from right within the notification shade without leaving and having to launch the application so here I have a message I just literally right but press the reply button type in a quick message here and press go bad that you can now actually modify head notifications are shown so if I long press a notification like so I now get an option and I can say hey only show this notification silently or block all notifications of this type in future so allows you to be much more control of your own notifications and we've added a support for unicode 9 and low G and what that does is first of all is it gives you access to much more sort of human-looking characters to start with like so but also we also support a skin tone very end so i can put long press this and pick different tones for the skin basically if it's sweet and tasty I like it you know that's basically how it works for me the idea behind the naming contest is we just think it's a really fun thing to do yeah I well I like Nutella I think it's great my daughter is a huge Nutella fan too but you know we'll see what's a contest and we'll see how it all plays out
