Folks, it looks like all the speculation can finally be put to rest as Google has officially taken the wraps off Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Their goal was to create a UI experience and improve Android’s frame rate and make it more consistent, thus getting rid of lag and stutter that some users have noticed on their Android mobile phones. It will be applied throughout the whole phone, apps and all and will be constantly updated and improved upon.
