HTC Will Launch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean tablet
Digitimes said Android 5.0 would have a unique feature, because it will have a dual operating system approach. It will reportedly be able to boot into both Android and Chrome without having to shutdown. Perhaps Chrome will be part of the experience like it did with the launch of the browser as an app.
HTC Will Launch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean tablet
When Google announced Jelly Bean at its i/o developers conference two weeks ago, it said the new operating system would be available for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and the Motorola Xoom. The Nexus 7 tablet will come with Jelly Bean out of the box.
KitGuru says: Nexus devices are traditionally launched with major Android updates, but given there will not be another one this year the introduction of Nexus device(s) would not surprise us.
Google is expected to announce a new version of its Android mobile operating system at its I/O developers conference, which runs Wednesday through Friday this week. Google refreshed its flagship Nexus line in November, and new Android chief Sundar Pichai recently downplayed expectations for major new products at I/O, a change from last year, which saw major launches like the Nexus 7 tablet.

In the weeks ahead, Verizon will likely launch a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 competitor in the form of the HTC Droid DNA, a device that was once called the Droid Incredible X and whose codename is HTC DLX. The device, which looks like a smartphone of the phablet variety, will aim to take on the LG Intuition and the Galaxy Note 2 this holiday season. Here is everything that we know so far about the device.
While Verizon already has one phablet, a name for a device that marries the features of a smartphone and tablet, out on the market in the LG Intuition, it seems as though it will be offering two other choices to consumers in the weeks ahead.
The LG Intuition launched for $199.99 on-contract. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will cost a lot more though when it arrives on Verizon, costing a whopping $299.99 for a 16GB model on-contract. HTC may be trying to capitalize on this as the leaked MAP indicates that the carrier may be looking to sell the Droid DNA for $199.99 on-contract.
As per the leaked images, this tablet appears very thin, blade-like form. The design is appealing and we expect it to weigh less as well. The design has a very good finish as well. Asus MeMo Pad 10 will be intially available in white and black colors, but it may be offered in more colors later. The release date of Asus MeMo Pad 10 is not known yet, but after formal announcement at MWC, we expect it to start selling soon as some retailers have already started taking pre-orders for this tablet at price between 329 to 389 EUR. The price of Asus Memo Pad 10 will be competitive and will vary depending upon the markets, but expect it to be attractive for budget-conscious market like India.
How does this new Face Unlock feature work? Your Jelly Bean phone or tablet will ask you to blink while logging in. On the first try our Nexus didn't recognize the blink, forcing us to enter a backup PIN. But on two subsequent tries we got in without a problem.
Google Play also now offers movie and TV purchases in addition to rentals. Smart Updates will enable your phone or tablet to download only the bits and pieces of an app that have changed since the previous version.
