Google officially announces Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean”

In a brief demonstration, Google showed off Jelly Bean’s revamped home screen, which now automatically rearranges icons when you’re moving apps and widgets around. The new OS sports a “refined dictionary” and a predictive keyboard (that’s hopefully better than past Android keyboards). Google is also bringing Voice Typing offline in Jelly Bean, which should be a big plus for dictation junkies.

Jelly Bean’s camera app has also been updating to allow for easier browsing of photos. The interface looks smoother and simpler than the Ice Cream Sandwich camera.
