It was just recently that manufacturers started rolling-out Android Ice Cream Sandwich to some of their devices but here we are with the latest rumor about the release of Android's next treat, the 5.0 Jelly Bean, in the second quarter of this year. Android Jelly Bean will be further optimized for tablet PCs and netbook computers with the ability to dual boot Chrome OS. Google is probably trying to market their cloud-based platform once more by hitching a ride with Android but I think it’ll be a short-lived affair as brand vendors can choose to have Android 5.0 only or dual boot with Windows 8. With brands like Asus planning to launch a Windows 8 tablet later this year, added the potential of an Android 5.0 dual boot, I say the tablet wars just got a lot better this time around. Google has just announced a new version of Android 12 that is catered to larger screen sizes called, Android 12L. Android 12L will focus on tablets, foldables, and ChromeOS devices. The new android version also introduces a new taskbar that allows users to switch between different apps. Android 12L is set to release in early 2022, but the new features are now available on the 12L developer preview page.
