Nexus 7: First device to run Jelly Bean

Google executives took the stage today at the company's annual Google I/O developers conference to announce their newest Android products, including the Nexus 7 Tablet, a new $199 Android tablet built in partnership with Asus to run the latest version of Google's operating system, Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean.


The Nexus 7 tablet will be the first device to run Jelly Bean. It will have Google's Chrome as its default web browser. Google also said the device would have up to 9 hours of battery life, which is impressive for one with such a detailed graphics display -- gamers will swoon.

The problem with Android updates is that it's hard to get excited about them.

History shows that Android updates are slow to make their mark on the ecosystem. Data collected by Google based on devices that have accessed Google Play shows that only 7.1 percent on devices are running the latest Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" update, despite the update appearing more than eight months ago.

The most popular version of Android continues to be Android 2.3 "Gingerbread", first released December 2010 and last updated September 2011.
