Comment: You mention that Google Now tells you the answer for "How far away is the moon?" but sends you to a results page when you ask the same about Pluto. I think, and this is a complete guess as I don't have access to a Jelly Bean device yet, that the result you get is linked to Google's web search. When you Google "How far away is the moon?" the answer is given in bold, with Pluto you only get the search results. I suspect that if Google gives you the answer in bold you'll get given the answer straight out in Google Now.

Comment: You can always install Vanilla Jelly Bean onto your HTC/Samsung/Sony mobile. There are plenty of tutorials online about how to do it...
Jelly Bean looks the best yet! I will be migrating over from my iPhone 3GS when this is released...

Comment: Thanks for this article I wasn't really that exited about Jelly Bean but reading this article made me realize that it's a much bigger and better update than it first appears.
Of course it'll be forever until I get an update since I have a HTC Sensation but seeing as the HTC Desire HD (which is relatively old) will be getting ICS by the end of August and the Sensation was HTC's flagship phone I'd say my chances of eventually getting it are good.

Comment: Quote from the review.... "Updates for other Android devices will depend on your phone manufacturer and network operator, but don't hold your breath -- many device are still waiting to receive Ice Cream Sandwich".
With 90% of devices running 2.2 or 2.3 and with most unlikely to be getting or capable of getting an upgrade to ICS; Jellybean uptake will be limited to the purchase of new devices and those devices running ICS that will be allowed to upgrade.
The ICS upgrade rollout has been a complete mess and network operators aren't really interested. It's also a bit worrying that Sense and Touch-Wiz type skins may bugger up your OS if an upgrade is performed.
I believe most Android mobile customers on contracts will simply keep the version of the OS that came with the phone and only change to the latest OS when it comes included on their next phone, 24 months down the line.

Good: silky smooth UI
Bad: You know about it a year before you're gonna get it
Comment: Google makes its customers feel like they've been left behind. Reviews galore all over the web about JellyBean (why isnt it called Android 5?). And people are STILL FRUSTRATED that they havent been given the chance to see what ICS is like!!!!!! On the one hand it's frustrating because you feel A) You wait ages for updates and B) You always feel 2 versions older than the pack!
