Android 4.1 Jelly Bean: What We Hope to See

One browser to rule them all: Currently Google has two browsers that run on Android phones: Browser and Chrome. Browser comes standard on every Android phone, while Chrome is a free download from the Google Play store.

Chrome is currently still in beta and only runs on Ice Cream Sandwich devices. However, we’d love to see Google bring the OS out of the testing phase with Jelly Bean and make it the standard browser for all Android phones.

Voice Assistant: iOS has Siri, the Galaxy SIII has S Voice, and we’d love for Google to come out with its own version of a voice assistant that blows both out of the water. Google has been rumored to be working on its own voice assistant called Majel for a while — Jelly Bean is the perfect time for it to bring that solution to the table.
