Jelly bean leaps over ICS

Google I / O 2012: All you need to know about Jelly Bean

Google released the next version of its Android OS to its I / O conference in San Francisco yesterday. Jelly Bean aka Android 4.1 will be deployed in mid-July. Google also launched the Nexus 7 tablets to be held on the last operating system.

So what are the main features and enhancements in Jelly Bean? Here's a look:

Butter project: Jelly Bean aims to ensure that your quad-core Android runs much faster and smoother, like butter. Enter butter project, much like a performance for the phone enchancer of. According to CNET, it uses Triple Buffering and VSync to improve responsiveness touch.

And, according to Engadget with butter project, the whole system humming along at 60 frames per second (fps) now. The animations are smoother and faster. The CPU immediately ramps up to that time a key is detected to ensure a prompt response.

Google has shown the difference between ICS and Jelly Bean by running the two together at the conference. The speed difference was quite obvious.

Sharper Notifications: Google new OS will also provide telephone notification to a whole new level. Slide by Google notifications have always been ahead of the curve, and Jelly Bean it just got bigger and better.

According to TechCrunch, if you missed a call, you can call or text the contact directly from the notification of the widget. All new Gmail messages are available right from the tab notifications, which prevents users from having to switch between applications.

Notifications are now synchronized with social media such as Google and Foursquare and more, and users can respond to messages notifications itself. Users also have the opportunity to expand individual notifications.

Now Google: Google's answer to Apple Siri is here and it seems to have impressed high-tech junkies. Google will now answer your questions in a human voice a bit like Apple is Siri. It seems to be pretty smart, because he will tell you which restaurant or choose which road to take when you walk or when you have a meeting.

The bit creepy: the search results will be based on your search history.

Android Width: Jelly Bean comes with Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities. Samsung released after S-Beam in the last of their phone S III and Microsoft did the same thing with Windows Mobile OS 8, it was kind of expected function. Like all NFC phones capable, users simply hold their devices together to share pictures, videos, etc. practice, right?

Smarter Keyboard: The new Android also promises an intelligent keyboard, with a prediction function of your next word before typing. According to TechCrunch, Google has narrowed down the voice transcription software to fit within the device itself, rather than the network connection. This means that users can type their voices with their service or not.

The advantage is that Siri always need an Internet connection to use this feature, while Google's new feature does not work.

Overall, it looks like Google has provided users with an operating system much faster and sharper. Will everyone be updated Jelly Bean?
