oranges are healthier for you than Oreos Google and we have some healthy hot takes for y'all on what Android OS first developer preview has brought us so far but first let's take a minute to break down a few features you'll definitely get the most impact from first of all more venues to dig through for the settings but it get used to searching out what you want to toggle you can now snooze notifications and toggle what topics you'll be notified on from any certain app apps that do autofill like pillar and LastPass can play with system-wide API is to plug their data into other apps forms for you iPad pro fans there's picture and picture mode no not like that like that with customizable functions from that view adaptive icons will show updated data and some animations OMS can make these animations fit within their UI aesthetic there's what color gamut support for those pictures and videos that needed advanced Bluetooth audio codecs are in the mixed including app decks and there's an API for high quality low latency audio streaming the webview experience as crash prone as it is gets to be a process separate from the app it comes from the crashes will report under the original apps better finally if you know how to get into the system UI tuner you've got customizable lockscreen and nav bar shortcuts of course there's always the disclaimer that things will change and with three more developer previews coming over the next five or six months they'll probably have to come back to this conversation several times over okay now that that's done here's what we take away from this not much I will say that if there's one thing androids don't have the corner on its out of doing notifications right there are way too many of them around for all of them to be useful this is a Bravo update that said while we're dealing with mature software that gets iterative changes a lot of these features tell that Android is playing catch-up to iOS and for a guy that first being in the green bubble of knowing the history of who's been the edgier player in our mobile era personally don't feel comfortable saying that but picture-picture the audience pc ID 3 and the adaptive freakin icons those are not firsts that Hiroshi Laughlin I can claim does it feel like keeping up with the Joneses well yes it does I'm just glad that we well some of us can get there and in some cases get it done better I am hopeful that more big consumer pushes will be done through Google Play services updates like Google assistant and I'm also really tired of having to wait until next year to get all the features we've talked about this year for me fragmentation really takes the o out of Android you
