Google has now released the source code for Android 4.1,
meaning mobile manufacturers like Samsung or LG can now get their
mitts on the anticipated update, and begin releasing updates for their
phones.
Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru confirmed that Google would be beaming Jelly Bean into the AOSP, with the inauspiscious name Android-4.1.1_r1.
When phones and tablets receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be down to individual manufacturers. Now that they have the code, they can begin stretching their custom Android skins over Jelly Bean and making sure it works with any unique software they've chosen to pre-install.But I wouldn't hold your breath for updates any time soon. Android 4.0 (ICS) got its public release november last year and that version of Google's operating system is currently only on 10% of devices as manufacturers fail to release the new software in a timely fashion.
Based on that time frame, it could be March next year before Jelly Bean is on 10 per cent of Android devices. On that same form, I expect many smart phones and tablets will never get updated to Jelly Bean, and that manufacturers will drag their heels when it comes to confirming which phones will be eventually updated, and which will be abandoned.
