Google-Play-on-HTC-One-XL

AT&T has finally gotten around to rolling out the much-anticipated Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrade for the HTC One X, three months after the software first landed on the international model.

Users can look forward to a whole host of enhancements with this release, including Jelly Bean’s Google Now and Project Butter, and HTC’s Sense 4+ user interface.

LG-Optimus-LTE-III-official-2

LG showed off a number of new handsets at Mobile World Congress last week, but it seems the company hasn’t quite finished yet. It has today unveiled the Optimus LTE III, a new Android-powered smartphone that will succeed the Optimus LTE II (obviously), with a 4.7-inch 720p display, an 8-megapixel camera, and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

Nexus-4-Android-Jelly-Bean

Google’s latest Jelly Bean platform has been available for just under eight months now, but like its predecessors, it’s been slow to make its way to Android smartphones and tablets. That’s not Google’s fault — it’s own Nexus devices get the latest releases almost as soon as they’re available — but Android hardware manufacturers are, unfortunately, notoriously slow at updated their devices.

Nevertheless, Jelly Bean’s market share is growing. According to Google’s latest data, it’s now installed on 16.5% of devices.

The Asus Transformer Pad TF300 will become the first non-Nexus device to be upgraded to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Asus has announced that the update is rolling out over-the-air to users in the United States today, while those in other regions should start receiving it by the end of the month.

Archos-FamilyPad-2

Archos has announced that its new FamilyPad 2, the large 13.3-inch tablet that the company unveiled at CES, will be launching “very soon,” priced at €299 (approx. $389). The company confirmed the news in a post on its official Facebook page, but it didn’t say where the device would hit first.

Based on the price tag, however, we’re assuming Europe will see it first.
