Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Google at Google I/O 2012 spilled the bean literally at the Google HQ on a lawn where other statues of Android as the Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo,Gingerbread, Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich were displayed.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean has been unveiled on Wednesday morning, where the latest and useful features have been shown for Android enthusiasts. The Jelly Bean is equipped with Samsung Galaxy Nexus, here are some pictures to show the enchantment and taste of what Jelly Bean would have.

Swipe Widgets Away

The user interface stays the same as the Ice Cream Sandwich but the widget resizes automatically when dropped into a crowded home page. By moving the blue pints, it can be made smaller or the shape can be changed.

A Long press on the icon can help in moving the icon or widget from the home page to the X.

Voice Search

A voice search feature has been added to trigger the shot against Apple Siri. The icon will be selected in the main menu and would be launched directly into the app’s uncluttered interface. From there the microphone icon is tapped to start off.

The microphone will turn red, when the phone is in “listening” phase and series of circles would radiate out from the icon.

Once a question is asked, a series of squares in the middle of screen appear.

What’s the weather in New York?

For questions, for example relating to weather when asked, the phone would speak the answer. It would tell you the temperature and it would also inform about the forecast for the coming days. So far the Google voice feature works faster than Siri.

What is the capital of Australia?

For some questions as the prime minister of Australia, the voice would answer that it was Julia Gillard. The answer for question of its capital gave results of some Web Search. Thus, the parameters need to be checked for voice search feature.

Filmstrip View

The photo can be pinched to make it smaller, when in the media gallery. This would make a filmstrip-style view to run for all the photos in a row. You can swipe left or right and can scan them all.

Swipe a Photo

A photo can be deleted by swiping it to top of the screen.

Predictive Text

Google has claimed that Jelly Bean has tweaked the international dictionary and provides a better word completion when a sentence is typed. As per Google, it’s a better and efficient improvement over Ice Cream Sandwich.

Voice Typing

The Google Jelly Bean offers a new feature of voice-typing; this feature helps you dictating the whole paragraph to the Jelly Bean Phone. Google claims that the feature would also capture the punctuation marks when spoken, e.g. “period”.

Notifications

The notification center offers the feature where tapping a notification can return the call or a message can be typed directly. This feature saves the time for opening up a message or call.

Next Xbox could have glasses, new Kinect

A leaked PDF document hints at what Microsoft could have in store for the next version of Xbox.If the 56-page document is true, the Xbox 720 has a planned release for 2013 and will play Blu-ray movies, 3D videos and it would work with special glasses for augmented reality gaming. The document also suggests the next version of the Kinect will track four people at once, have improved voice recognition and it could be split into two units on both sides of the television. The document seems to have been authored in 2010, so clearly much of it could be out of date by now. But hey -- some of the concepts in the document have been proven true, like SmartGlass.

A report from Variety says CBS has bought a pilot of a TV show based on the mobile app Draw Something. The Pictionary-like game would have teams of celebrities and everyday folks put their quick drawing skills to the test. And viewers could play along on the app at home, making it a more interactive take on past game shows like Win, Lose or Draw.

Mozilla, the organization behind FireFox, is working on a web browser for the iPad. It's called Junior, and it'll be a bit different from a typical browser design. For example, the toolbar is gone and there are are large buttons on the left and right of the screen to navigate through pages. No word on when it'll be available.

Verizon is offering a new top-tier high speed internet for FiOS service, at 300Mbps, for $210 dollars a month. It's likely you don't need that level of speed, but FiOS customers might want to check out the other new speed bundles and pricing tiers available.

Microsoft is announcing its new product Monday night, and it has everyone talking tablets. So today's I help sort out all the speculation. I think I made a pretty fair guess at what the new product will look like, don't ya think?
