Jelly Beans seen at Google's MWC booth. Hmmmm...
Share:
People have suggested since last fall that the next version of Android will be named Jelly Bean, and The Verge has claimed they can confirm the name with inside sources. Now MWC visitors may be able to confirm the name for themselves, as Mr. Barra included the following photograph in his stream of pics from the Android booth he posted on Google+.
We suppose it could just be a coincidence…but really, what are the odds that Google would have a table with nothing but a jar of jelly beans on it if they weren’t trying to hint at something? And what are the odds that a photo of said table would find its way into Hugo Barra’s photo stream by chance?
Yeah, that’s what we thought too.

Maybe it's indeed JB. But if so it's most likely 4.1 and not 5.0. ICS is just a few months old.
Next version will probably be called Kiwi Souffle. :)

Nah - I vote for Kiwi Souffle. Kiwi is green. Perfect for Android. :D

same thing with iPhone and iOS, you really think there is going to be an iPhone26? They will change it up.

jail bait?
all kidding aside, ICS was great! I loved it when i had my Nexus S. There doesn't need to be an Android 5 yet. Unless they're trying to compete with Apple in software versions.

i think google should release the next version of android at least one year later and not release premature versions

thats a nice opinion. keep it to your self.
thank god you have absolutely no pull in the cell phone industry.

It's amazing how selfish people are, they want progress to stop just so they can catch up. The faster the better IMO
24. cellphonator posted on 27 Feb 2012, 15:33 5 0
Selfishness has nothing to do with that. I think that by "premature version" he meant something that doesn't work as it suppose to.
28. EclipseGSX posted on 27 Feb 2012, 15:51 2 7
Every new version is going to have its bugs. If you don't like it stick to boring semi-reliable iOS then
20. cybervlad81 posted on 27 Feb 2012, 15:14 0 0
ICS was announced way before it made it to a device, I would expect it to be close to a year even if they show it off now. Though I do agree that as long as they push out more and more good stuff I don't care how fast they do it, I'll catch up eventually and then be obsolete again for a while, that's just the way it goes.

I agree with @drahmad on this one. It doesnt have to do with selfishness. It has to do with releasing versions that have the bigs worked out.
36. remixfa posted on 28 Feb 2012, 07:09 0 0
im going to agree with Drah as well. I would rather every update come out polished than on a schedule.

I'd rather see more Ice Cream Sandwich in action rather than a hasty Jelly Beans update.
7. ilia1986 posted on 27 Feb 2012, 14:17 4 3
I want me some Ice cream Sandwich packed within an Eclair, inside a Cupcake, with a Frozen Yogurt on top, with a bit of Honey, and some Gingerbread on the side please. :)

Stop using Android else you'll die from Diabetes :-D Lol
What a Pj... :-P

I completely agree. Carriers in the US are horrible with updating their phones to ICS (or any Android update for that matter).
11. squallz506 posted on 27 Feb 2012, 14:24 1 0
ICS has been out for over four months now. it isnt google's fault that carriers and manufacturers cant keep up.
14. aphexjuggalo posted on 27 Feb 2012, 14:26 0 1
i'm sure it will be 4.1 as well and not 5 already. they have named a lot of the x.x updates already.

43. karanstyle posted on 28 Feb 2012, 09:15 1 0
I so agree with your statement Hi5 @Jphones :-P

i'm for Key Lime Pie. c:
i wouldn't mind taking a look at what Jellybean has to offer. it's not like they're gonna create total chaos by releasing it now or anything.
30. kingpet13 posted on 27 Feb 2012, 16:33 2 0
I think that jelly bean could be released soon because google has said that they wanted a lot more features with ics but were not ready. Maybe they have solved morst of the problems. Like Majels data
34. gevvyd posted on 28 Feb 2012, 06:52 1 1
I'll just have an Ice Cream for dinner and some Jelly Beans for dessert :)
37. remixfa posted on 28 Feb 2012, 07:10 0 0
For everyone voting for Key Lime Pie.
you do realize that it starts with..a K right? lol..
dork fish!
I think the jellybeans are just a teaser to get the internet blogs churning.. nothing more.
