February 21, 2012 | By Andro ID

The low use of the newest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) in the smartphone and tablet device seems to make Google move fast to soon release the next version of Android.

Google is rumored to be launching Android 5.0, named "Jelly Bean" in the second quarter of 2012 or sometime in June.

As reported by Digitimes that gets information from a distributor based in Taiwan, the launch of the "Jelly Bean" caused by the absorption of Ice Cream Sandwich has failed to meet original expectations.

Until February 2012, Ice Cream Sandwich is used only about one percent of the existing phones and tablets.

One of the new phones that use the Galaxy Ice Cream Sandwich is the Nexus, at the end of last year.

Although, several months ahead Ice Cream Sandwich is expected to be widely used by other Android devices, especially when some mobile vendors release new devices at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona later this month.

While the Android version of the most widely used is the Android Gingerbread (from version 2.3.3 to 2.3.7) which is used by 58.6 per cent of the existing Android devices.

The launch of Android OS 5.0 is also referred to as the presence of Windows 8 Microsoft will be released in the third quarter of 2012.

Android "Jelly Bean" but can be used for smartphones and tablets, Google is also going to design it as an operating system on the notebook and netbook.

Actually Google already has an operating system for notebooks, namely Chrome. However, the notebook with Chrome (Chromebook) is also not as good as Google's original estimate.

Therefore, Google will design the "Jelly Bean" ready for use in notebooks, to compete with Windows 8.
