Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ne dispose 1% du part de marché, mais Google semble être sur le point de révéler son successeur. C'est ce que laisse pretendre les derniers rumeurs, qui disent que la prochaine version d'Android 5.0 Jelly Bean sera dévoilé au deuxième trimestre de cette année.

Selon DigiTimes souvent fiables, qui citent qu'un décideurs de la chaîne logistique au Taiwan, que l'Android 5.0 (Jelly Bean) apportera des optimisations supplémentaires pour les appareils avec grands écrans (tablettes et les netbook).

L'une des caractéristiques clés de la prochaine version d'Android sera sa capacité à dual-boot pour Chrome OS. La plate-forme cloud se bat encore pour avoir un impact et Google est évidemment l'intention d'utiliser le très populaire Android pour changer cela.

Dual-boot rendra également Android 5.0 Jelly Bean beaucoup plus facile sur le marché avec les fabricants d'ordinateurs. Compte tenu de la popularité du Premier Asus Transformer, on devine qu'il pourrait y avoir un créneau pour les ordinateurs ultra-portables avec la vie de la batterie super long et de bonnes performances, même si elles ne sont pas exécuter sur un systeme d'exploitation régulier d'ordinateur de bureau .

Google has unveiled the browser that many users of Chrome's are waiting for on their smart devices. The Google Chrome finally comes to smartphones/tablet that runs on android, but unfortunately it only works on the ICS (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwish).

The Chrome even if it still on a beta phase, it seems already as one of the best browsers on the platform (and as you know there is no shortage of quality web browsers on Android ).

Technicaly the browser is fast, with excellent performance and a simplified user interface, the Chrome browser to Android still has much to offer. It allows you to synchronize just about everything between your desktop browser and your smartphone/tablet - from bookmarks to current browsing session, giving you the opportunity to continue your navigation on your smartphone/tablet exactly where you left it on your computer. Unfortunatly Chrome for Android dosen't support flash, hope it will be fixed when the final version of the browser be released.
