Android 4.1 Jelly Bean preview: First look

28 June 2012
Google used its I/O 2012 conference in San Francisco to unveil the latest release of Android. Carrying the version number 4.1, the new Android Jelly Bean is supposed to come as more of a polish to Ice Cream Sandwich, than a major game changer. Don’t think for a second though...

      Hi gsmarena , there is a mistake on page 3 in the paragraph related to " NenaMark 2 ". In the description , you say that performance goes up , but the figure shows that the performance goes down. Please look into it and let us know whether the performance goes either up or down.

        When is android going to support ext4 formatted SDcard? We're still stuck with the old FAT32 format.

                          This is looking great. Darn sexy improvement in the UI. Runs like butter, hehe. I hope the upgrade path from ICS to be much better than the awful overall transition from GB to ICS, since this is a minor update (with a lot of cool added features thogh).

                                  now i know jessica alba phone no ! :D

                                    ON TOPIC: As usual, fantastic preview by GSMArena. Great Job guys.
                                    OFF TOPIC: Hats off to Google for choosing a fantastic selling name like Project Butter. Any brand should learn from it.
                                    On the good side, I liked the Offline Voice typing, but that's all i liked.

                                      Yeah. As long as it doesn't take 6 months for this update to come to devices.

                                        Project Butter , just a advertising name for a feature that is too simple . just a fast UI that 200euro Windows phone and a 200 $ Ipod touch have normally :)
                                        i hate who advertises for fake .
