Jellybean by Q2?

[Silent Patriot]

Interesting...

Worried about Windows 8, Google could launch Android 5.0 as soon as Q2 | VentureBeat

 

[Iceycold]

I'd sure love some JELLY BEANZ

I would love for google to fully optimize ICS before launching a new OS. I dont care about JB at this point, lets get the kinks worked out of ICS first.

 

[CallerHoller]

New OS's are released on new devices. Then takes 1q or 2q to be pushed to existing devices.
Except for leaks we'll be waiting for a while.

That article is compete hogwash. Supposedly Google is worried about Windows (hilarious) and ICS? If Google was worried about slow adoption of ICS how would releasing another major OS make things better?

 

[davey11]

I bet we be one of the first to get it, considering how fast the nexus s got ics.

 

[LBTRS]

Lol, we don't even have ICS working properly and it is only on a couple devices and you all want Jelly Bean already? Let's get ICS figured out first.

 

[Small_law]

Seems legit, but let's get the 4.0.4 ota out the door first.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

It's not legit. It's digitimes. Did nobody read our story?

Twitterverse has said that 4.0.5 will be next. 4.0.4 OTA is scrapped. Leak rumors of 4.1.3 too. Things are moving pretty quick behind the scenes.

I'd love to be able to place a bet against it happening.

[mcaspe1]

I have a strange feeling that windows 8 is gonna suck. Google has nothing to worry about right now. ICS is amazing

ICS was the start for converging tablets, smartphones, and any Android-run device into one OS. So every new iteration of Android from here on out should be for all Android devices.

I dont think Google is worrying, but not because of Windows being a threat.

I kind of wonder if the whole "Dual booting windows and android" thing is a tablet partnership with Microsoft? If you think about it, it's a win/win. android sells tablets that has both their own os on it and windows 8, which would dramatically increase the marketshare of android tablets, especially in the corporate world, and would bring android tablet sales back into the race with the iPad. Meanwhile Microsoft, which has never really had a foothold in the tablet world at all, would get a huge helping introduction in the tablet market decreasing the chances of their project crashing and burning in the first year.

I dont know about you guys, but I'd much rather use a Windows based tablet in my windows-based company environment than an iPad. Same platform = better compatibility (in theory at least.) I can only really see good in this if it's a partnership.

why would windows focus on a better mobile gui and then have people use android instead?
