Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean
improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search
experience on Android.
Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and
switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster
orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and
more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even
more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and
turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
What's new in Jelly Bean
Accessibility
With Jelly Bean, blind users can use 'Gesture Mode' to reliably navigate the UI
using touch and swipe gestures in combination with speech output.
With the new accessibility focus feature, you can move a cursor between controls to
maintain a target for the next action or a source for the next navigation event. You
can double tap anywhere to launch the current item with accessibility focus.
Text traversal in accessibility now gives you more control – choose to move between
pages, paragraphs, lines, words or characters.
TalkBack, a screenreader for Android, now supports gestures to trigger actions, to
navigate applications, and traverse text.
