The Android
4.1 update will be released to the Wi-Fi only Motorola Xoom tablet according to
a recent announcement by Motorola Mobility.
The mobile
phone manufacturer, which is acquired earlier by Google, revealed that the
Jelly Bean Android OS update will be initially released to owners of the Wi-Fi
only Motorola Xoom in the US market. No announcements were made on when the
Android 4.1 update will be release to users from other markets as well as the
3G and the 4G models of the tablet.
The
announcement also indicated that the latest Android OS will offer and enhanced
user interface and offer a better touch-sensitivity for users of the Motorola
Xoom tablet. The Android 4.1 OS was initially released together with the Google
Nexus 7 tablet and has been released to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus S will
also be receiving the Android 4.1 update as well as a number of HTC One
devices.
In addition
to the enhanced user interface, the Android 4.1 update will also offer a number
of offline features including the offline maps and offline voice dictation. The
Google Now feature that will be offered by the Android 4.1 update will allow
the OS to figure out what the user will need at a certain period of time by
looking into the location history, search history and calendar of the user.
An industry
watcher revealed that the Android 4.1 update does not really offer radical
innovations for users although it provides a better user interface, remarkable
performance, and a number of enhancements in the notifications and search
features.
Even as the
Android 4.1 update is slowly being released for a number of Android-powered
devices, the Ice Cream Sandwich Android continues to be released to other
Android-powered devices with the LG Nitro of AT&T set to receive the update
by July 31.
