The new version of Google's Android operating system called Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It's faster, has a cleaner home screen, a new camera application, notifications much better, and what could be a killer app: Google now. This is what's new in Jelly Bean:
Now Google is going to be a feature murderer. It gives your Android phone with full consciousness of his whereabouts and keeps you informed about any information you may need at any time during the day depending on your location. It seems pretty smart.
If you are on the road in the subway, for example, will tell you when the next train is coming. Looking for a flight, you will create a card that is constantly updated with flight information such as the door, delays or the time of shipment. If you go to a restaurant, it will offer recommendations on the menu. This seems similar to some of the things Siri ago in IOS, but it seems more useful to me as it seems to anticipate situations based on where you are.
The cards are clearly designed with a good design, images and typography.
Applications are faster than ever
This is very good: when an application needs reform, not to download the full application. Parts are downloaded application package that has changed. This is ideal for users, as new applications are downloaded faster and use less bandwidth. In theory, this will help people to have all their applications updated at all times.
It's faster than ever
The new interface is ultra fast
The refresh rate is much higher than the previous version of the Android operating system, with a much better response time to a touch. Apparently, Google says its new video software architecture can save battery too to predict where it's going to click on Next.
All Android interface, applications-including runs at 60 frames per second. Google introduced a video screen for comparison of Jelly Bean ice cream sandwich, the older version of Android, and makes the latter look like it is running in slow motion. We'll have to try it, but it looks very impressive. In fact, Google is so inspired by the softness they call butter projects.
This will make the screen of your home look better
The home screen has been modified
Seems the same, but now helps the user to keep things organized. Now you can resize or move widgets around the screen and everything will flow thus keep everything in order. In a way, the reorganization is similar to changing the size of Metro Microsoft Windows Phone 8, without the tile floor. Dismissing the widgets is as easy as throwing it away.
You can type with your voice, even when disconnected
There is a new online writing voice engine, allowing you to dictate text without an Internet connection. It will be launched for the U.S. only English in the beginning, but other languages will follow.
It has a nicer camera application
No new camera application that lets you review your existing photos with ease, even when you are taking a new one, without having to switch to a review: just look at any previous picture by hitting the finger at the right by moving the active camera view out of the way. It's a nice feature, but I think it is too useful. I see myself looking at my photos above, with a new one.
Getting rid of an existing photo in this mode is also quite simple: slide up to shoot. Nice again, and fast. The only problem I see with this is that you are not prompted to confirm.
The new notifications are much better and richer than before
Images have been added, live updates, and much more information to notifications. You can also expand and contract with a gesture of two fingers. Android is the phone operating system first to introduce new notifications and make Apple look primitive now. What kind of reminds me of Microsoft's Live tiles.
The new search engine works as Siri
The new search engine works as Siri, accepting natural language questions and answer them. The voice sounds much better than Siri, though.
The results screen is pretty good too: it gives you a card with the answer to your question, but with a swipe of your finger to the right you will see comprehensive search results from Google.
