Asus VP confirms Jelly Bean is next Android OS
Asus VP confirms Jelly Bean is next Android OS
Asus is the first brand to release Google's current Android operating software Ice Cream Sandwich on a tablet.

New Delhi: Back in September, even before Google's current operating software was introduced, it was reported that Google would name their future Android OS, Jelly Bean. Google has a tradition of adopting names of desserts for the operating software and have in the past gone with the likes of Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb and more recently Ice Cream Sandwich.

Another interesting piece of information is that all these monikers are titled alphabetically. Rumours were rife that the name of the upcoming Android OS would be titled Jelly Bean as there were not many desserts that start with the alphabet J.

The report in the past could not be as concrete as the source of the latest information about the name comes from Asus's Corporate Vice President Benson Lin in an exclusive interview with Tech Radar.

Speaking at the interview, Lin said, "Asus is very close to Google, so once they have Android 5.0 I think there will be a high possibility that we will be the first wave to offer the Jelly Bean update."

This bit of information may not come as a surprise as Asus is generally quick in offering Android updates. They were the first brand to release Google's current Android operating software Ice Cream Sandwich on a tablet.

This tablet was the Asus Transformer Prime. Judging by Lin's statement we can certainly expect the update to be pushed out to their devices almost as soon as Jelly Bean is announced.
