Google confirmed Jelly Bean as its next Operating System by placing its statue at Google’s Android garden in their headquarters in Mountain View, California. The Android garden is filled with previous versions of Google Operating System. The company has so far followed an alphabetical order in keeping the names of its OS. Its earlier versions were Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean will be the latest to join the family.
The picture of the Jelly Bean Statue at Google Lawn was posted on Google+ by a developer of the company confirming it to be Google’s next iteration of its Android OS. As reported by ABC news, Google will reveal information about Jelly Bean at Google I/O conference in San Francisco. The company will display demonstration of the OS for analysts and media. However, Google has not revealed much about the software.
A lot of speculations have been made over the version of the next Operating System. It was highly expected that the OS will come with a version of 5.0 but Google by mistake revealed the version of Jelly Bean as 4.1 while giving details on Nexus 7 on Google Play Store. However, this detail was soon removed from the page, leaving people guessing over the update.
Google will soon launch a tablet of its own, Google Nexus 7, which will run on Jelly Bean Operating System and is expected to give Apple iPads a tough competition in the market.
