PING! Google is deconstructing Android. . . taking components out of the monolithic Android and posting them to the Android Play Store so that users with older versions of Android whose carriers don't provide updates can get the upgraded parts of Android. . . sounds like a good idea.
This approach may not get those users the full upgrade to, say Marshmallow, but it will get them the upgraded browser app, mail apps, etc., that would have come with the distribution of Marshmallow.

Interesting take on the technical future of Android - ANDROID PING!
Android Ping!
If you want on or off the Android Ping List, Freepmail me.
I like the idea. I've been in the software development game for 30+ years. I like the idea of composable components rather than large monolithic monsters.
