    Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is coming out later this year (Q3-Q4, after iOS 6). What are your predictions?

    I predict....
    -Better Tablet Optimization
    -Capability to Dual-Boot with MoneySoft Windows
    -Assistant, an intelligent personal assistant comparable to Apple's Siri and codenamed "Majel"
    -Google Chrome as default Browser
    -Improved Keyboard (as always)
    -Better Google Service Integration; Drive, Docs, Etc
    -File Manager

    What do you predict?

    EDIT: My bad, Jelly Bean is expected to be Android 4.1. Not a major upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich, just like iOS 6 is not supposed to be a major upgrade from iOS 5 (are any iOS updates major?)

    Every iOS X is a major update

    2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3 were all major updates..

    Why would you think 4.1 isn't major?

    I wouldnt say so, all Android 2.x devices are pretty much the same basic concept. Then ICS is where it really changed and is starting to be somewhat not garbage.

    Indeed. It gets slower ;)

    Honestly though, iOS 4 to iOS 5.0 added a large amount of features.

    I think that when you hold the home button down it will shoot Jellybeans out of the microUSB port.

    Not really. It's really one or two major features (Copy and paste, multi-tasking, App Store, Notification Center) with extra features (homescreen background, Spotlight, Search pages in Safari, etc).

    I guess it's how you think about it.

    It didn't change the overall operating system much, other than notifications. Home screen is still the same. Design still same.

    Although...iOS does get slower every upgrade. My old iPod Touch 3rd gen was really fast on iOS 3...On iOS 5 it can stutter quite a bit. iOS 5 is also the least stable...Safari freezes up on me all the time on my iPad.

    So who copied the screenshot feature and technique from whom? o_O Apple and Android take screen shots the EXACT same way! :eek:
