Android 6.0 Marshmallow Review: Google Outsmarts Apple By Guessing Your Next Move - WSJ

From a mostly-positive Android 6.0 review

"Improvements to Siri and other predictive elements in iOS 9 mean you get what you need faster, but Google’s got Apple beat with its nuclear weapon, Google Now on Tap. It brings together so many of Google’s talents, including crowd-sourced intelligence, that it’s hard to imagine how Apple could match it. Google Now still lives just to the left of the home screen and feeds you a digest of information you are likely to be interested in—weather, directions to next destination, headlines, etc. (In iOS 9, Siri now does a similar thing in a similar spot.) But now, when looking at a Web page, email, text message or more, you can hold down the home button to get Marshmallow to suggest a logical next step."
