The Nexus 9 tablet was a bit behind in the update process, which is odd since Google is pretty stellar at getting the latest iteration of Android to the lineup. Obviously the Nexus has been sitting comfortably in the forefront of updates, but previous Nexus 7 devices were getting the update to Android 5.1 while the newest Nexus 9 was kind of the stepchild of the group. It wasn’t the end all be all that some portrayed it to be and for those that were throwing fits about not being update can grab a drink and finally relax as the update has been announced today.

The announcement tweet does leave off if it is 5.1 or 5.1.1. I am sure as soon as the update starts hitting devices we will get the version number. It is also possible that if it isn’t 5.1.1, that it will be right around the corner too.
