Those of you fortunate enough to be running jelly bean on your devices definitely need to head on over the play store and update Google Search. Google Now will include the ability to see movies and showtimes. There has also been additional options added to the settings menu that will allow you to see how well your favorite teams are doing in real-time. Last but not least the program will now provide emergency alerts such as storm and earthquake warnings if you are in the area. Head on over to the Play Store and see for yourself.




The Nexus 7 has been out for a few months now and has gained plenty of traction; with the quality construction and consistent performance you really can’t ask for a better bang for your buck. Because the device is so widely accepted, many case manufacturing companies have started shipping out products for the tablet. One of the first to come out with a decent lineup is Amzer: and if you take a look at any of the reviews on Amazon, they push out some quality products.
If you’ve been keeping up with Android News lately then I’m sure you’ve been staying on top of the Jelly Bean update situation. Asus has been pretty good with issuing out updates rather quick, and this is no exception. Starting this week, the TF300 recently received an OTA update which included Asus’s take on the newest version of Android – Jelly Bean.
If there’s one thing that the Android community can’t get enough of, it’s Twitter applications. A new Twitter application launches about once per month, each one bringing more features and faster updates than the previous, driving competition to an all time high.

While manufacturers fall further behind on updating devices, development teams like Cyanogenmod and AOKP strive to keep these devices up to date. Paying hundreds of dollars for a device only for it to be dropped a few months later is a real bummer; thankfully custom ROMs breathe new life into older devices as they continue to receive the latest and greatest operating systems. As of last night, AOKP has started to release Jelly Bean builds to the older Galaxy S line as well as newer builds for the current nexus devices.
