Butter on toast, but butter on Jelly Bean?
Google has now come out with the
Nexus 7 inch tablet and along with that a new version of Android. One of the things I like about iOS devices is how smooth it feels and Android just never seemed to feel the same. I currently use a
Samsung Infuse phone and it wasn't until rooting it that it seemed to feel a little better. Every now and then it still feels a little jerky. The latest version of Android, code named
Jelly Bean, is suppose to be
a lot smoother than previous versions. This is thanks to a project called "Butter". I'm sure it also helps to have some good stuff under the hood. Here are some of the specs:
- 7" 1280x800 Corning® glass display
- 4325 mAh battery good for 9-10 hours
- NVIDIA® Tegra 3 quad-core processor
- 12-core graphics processor
- 1 GB RAM
- 1.2MP front-facing camera
- 8 or 16 GB internal storage
Not bad
It does only feature the front-facing camera which I'm ok with really, that's why I have a point-and-shoot camera. The one thing that is a bit of a let down is that there is no microSD slot. So you are either stuck with 8GB or 16GB. From what I understand the operating system alone, takes almost 4GB! It's no surprise that as I write this that the
16GB version is no longer offered direct from Google due to the high demand. I know this was to keep the cost low, but maybe they could have come out with only an 8GB version but offer a microSD slot? Still at $199 and $249 for what you do get is still very impressive. Maybe I should have named this one "
HDS wants a 16GB Nexus 7 tablet"
Comments
I haven't seen this in person but my nephew has one so maybe I'll have a chance to see if it smoother. How about those of you reading this? You have a Nexus 7 or do you have a Galaxy Nexus phone that has been updated to Jelly Bean? Is it really as smooth as butter? I like butter, so I would be willing to put it on Jelly Bean if it's better. Let me know.
