subject: Jelly Bean, Android 4.1- A Smoothie Update From Google For Android [print this page] Android is now the world's most commonly used smartphone platform and recently Google launched an upgraded version to Android 4.0, the Jelly Bean. As to the current android platforms, Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean will be a much comprehensive up-gradation to Ice Cream Sandwich with much smoother and faster performance. This new operating system has got best UI experience, smoother transitions among applications and minimum input lag. Most of the android application development industries have started working on Jelly Bean, with the SDK released to public.
Some of the prominent features in Jelly Bean are:
Quick Responsive with Project Butter
During Google I/O developers conference, Project Butter was uttered and this is the thing that keeps Jelly Bean running. It makes Jelly Bean smooth and faster with effortless transition among applications, quick image rendering, higher frame rates, touch prediction and better graphics.
Voice Dictation
Jelly Bean allows Voice Dictation facility which allows the OS to type what the user says. You can also dictate texts without data or wireless connections, which can be operated even in airplane mode. The offline voice dictation without help of any cloud service is what makes this feature different. This will be the best add-on in android application development to take the shine away from Apple iPhones.
Voice Search
The Voice Search or Voice Actions feature is now much faster and intelligent than Siri(voice search application) offered in the iPhone. While Siri helps you find the answers to questions, but in the sense guiding you to the appropriate answers. But Google's Voice Search shows you the appropriate answer along with photos or more information. In addition to this Google Now feature acts as an interpreter of your thoughts and makes the device learn your habits and interests from your online activities and serves your the right information before you type.
Notifications Center
The notifications service has got better with Jelly Bean with not only showing your email notifications, but also some more information regarding the subject. This service is also iPhone available in iOS, but those are less customizable as compared to Jelly Bean.
Apart from the above features Jelly Bean has gotten even better camera app with better viewing and sharing as compared to Android 4.0. Google Beam enabled sharing photos, videos, apps, web pages and contacts on Android with a single tap. The home screen is not just the usual as its now enhanced with dynamic widget resizing and icon placing facilities. The widgets on your home screen will resize themselves as per the space and the icons will be placed automatically every time an icon added or deleted on home screen.
