It appears
that the next version of the Android OS, the supposed Jelly Bean Android 5.0
OS, will be optimized for use on tablet PCs and may work well with the Windows
8 OS of Microsoft.

| Jelly Bean Android 5.0 OS |
This was
revealed recently in a report posted by Digitimes, a Taiwanese website. The
website has also indicated that it has knowledge on the possible launch of the
upcoming version o the Android OS of Google.
Supply chain
vendors were the supposed source for the report on the Jelly Bean Android 5.0
OS as the website has reportedly discussed with them on the possible launch
date of the OS. These vendors have indicated that the Jelly Bean Android 5.0 OS
will be unveiled during the second quarter of the year and will reportedly be
optimized for use on tablet PCs.
But some questions
may be raised on the claim that the vendors have revealed that the Jelly Bean
Android 5.0 OS can be added to a notebook or tablet PC using the Windows 8 OS.
This will allow the switching between the two operating systems without having
to reboot the device.
The Chrome
OS is designed for use on notebooks while the Android OS is designed for use on
tablet PCs and smartphones. Questions will be raised on the veracity of the
reports particularly on the supposed use of the Jelly Bean Android 5.0 OS with
the Windows 8 OS.
The possible
release of the Jelly Bean Android 5.0 OS may not be impossible although the
latest version is still being released to a number of devices, which may raise
more questions on the veracity of the report. The Ice Cream Sandwich Android
4.0 OS is currently being released to a number of older devices following its
launch on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
For the
moment, it would be better to take a wait-and-see stance with regard to the
supposed release of the Jelly Bean Android 5.0 OS particularly with its
possible integration into tablet PCs and notebooks running the Windows 8 OS.
