All of the major Android updates have had dessert themed code names following in alphabetical order. Jelly Bean follows Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and Ice Cream Sandwich. Although Google hasn't officially released a code name for the next update as of this writing, the popular rumor is that we'll be looking at Key Lime Pie, and we'll probably see it sometime next spring.

So what does Jelly Bean bring to the table?
Project Butter, Better Keyboard Predictions, Useful Notifications, Improved Photos, Improved Accessibility Features, Widgets Are Smarter, Android Beam,

Google Now
Google Now is likely to be the coolest or most creepy part of the Jelly Bean experience. Remember how we all suspect Google knows everything about us? Now is Google's chance to show us just how much. Google Now shows the weather when you leave for work, the train schedule when you're standing on the subway platform, the score of the game you didn't even explicitly tell it you were interested in seeing, and the traffic conditions for your drive home from work. That's pretty awesome, and that's also dangerously close to creepy. Let's hope Google does this so seamlessly that it all feels helpful and not stalkerish.

Android Jelly Bean 4.1

Google announced Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) at the Google I/O conference on 27 June 2012. Based on Linux kernel 3.0.31, Jelly Bean was an incremental update with the primary aim of improving the functionality and performance of the user interface. The performance improvement involved "Project Butter", which uses touch anticipation, triple buffering, extended vsync timing and a fixed frame rate of 60 fps to create a fluid and "buttery-smooth" UI. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was released to the Android Open Source Project on 9 July 2012, and the Nexus 7 tablet, the first device to run Jelly Bean, was released on 13 July 2012.
