Here's what most of you will be wanting to know: when can I get it on my phone? Well, developers with a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 have had access to early builds since June 26.
For the rest of the folk in the world Google has said it will be available for the Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices 'in the coming weeks' - so some users should be seeing it show up come November, if not before.
HTC has already been in contact, giving the following statement about its forthcoming upgrade to Android Lollipop (formerly known as Android L):
"HTC is excited about the new features in Android L and we can't wait to share them with our customers. We are committed to updating our flagship HTC One family as fast as possible.
"We will begin rolling out updates to the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7)in regions worldwide within 90 days of receiving final software from Google, followed shortly thereafter by other One family members and select devices."
Motorola has also confirmed that Android Lollipop will be hitting the Moto X at some point and OnePlus has committed to bringing it to the OnePlus One within three months of Google releasing a final build.
Of course, what would a new Android OS launch be without new hardware from the Silicon Valley-company itself? To satiate our sweet tooth Google has announced a new Nexus 6 phone built in collaboration with Motorola and Nexus 9 tablet designed with HTC to accompany Android L's release.

If you're wondering about how much this update will cost the good news is Android 5.0, like all previous updates, is free.
