I have a nexus 9 and had a nexus 5  (turns out it can&#x27;t survive the ocean) as well as a nexus 7.<p>I love unmodified android.  I won&#x27;t get an android device that another company has modified due to how long, if at all, they take to get updates.  I also think they&#x27;re kinda ugly or gimmicky anyways.<p>Nexus 5 and 7 I loved.<p>Nexus 9 is disappointing.  It&#x27;s just not powerful enough to provide a smooth experience for me.<p>Developing wise, I&#x27;m conflicted.  I&#x27;ve done iOS and android development.  I don&#x27;t like Java and I like ios&#x27;s framework pattern but android is easier to get up and running IMO which is nice.   Also now that iOS has Swift, which I think is a lot better than objc, it makes it harder for me to want to develop for Android.  I know you can develop in a bunch of different things for android, but if I was doing something for production, I&#x27;m not going to be using something not supported by Google.
