| Jelly Bean was released at the Google developer conference last month |
In a move that is sure to see massive excitement from the Android developer community, Google has released the source code of Jelly Bean, the latest iteration of its Android operating system. It will be available for download for anyone looking to work on builds for Android devices.
In a statement announcing the release on one of its forums, Google said, ” We recommend that you create new clients, even if you’re working in the master branch. It’ll make your clients smaller and faster to sync.”
The statement added that proprietary binaries would be available for Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus, while those of the Nexus S and Xoom would be released shortly.
Jelly Bean which was launched at Google’s developer conference last month, is demonstrably faster than all previous Android versions, and has a host of new features including a new mobile notificationsystem, Android Beam and Google Now, touted as a much faster, better version of Apple’s Siri.
Commenting on the development, tech site EndGadget said, “As usual, this gets the countdown started for more manufacturers to work on builds for their devices and means third party coders like CyanogenMod can dive in as well. One other thing we should be used to by now is a warning that it still may take some time for things to go live as the code is replicated.”
