Everything points to the version of Android 5.0 baptized as Jelly Bean could appear in the second quarter of 2012, Google wants its latest version to be a hybrid with Microsoft's Windows 8 version so that the user can choose to choose either of the two operating systems without the need to turn off the computer.
It will be compatible with laptops or tablets, offering the best of both platforms in the same device. It should be noted that from my point of view Google has not yet expanded its Ice Cream Sandwich version as expected, for unknown reasons or due to problems between manufacturers, the fact is that only one 1 percent use Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0For the most part, people still continue to use Gingerbread either due to ignorance or lack of support from the manufacturer.
The boot between Jelly Bean 5.0 and Windows 8 can be done hot, without any type of restart or shutdown of the computer, which would give a great opportunity for users to enjoy the best of both platforms, using Android for its functionality and speed and Windows 8. due to its integration with business applications, office automation, etc.
The topic is still very green, without much information about it, seeing clearly that ChromeOS was not very successful, what is believed is that Google intends to enter the world of laptops with your Android version.
A big part of Google's challenge is getting Android to update across all device manufacturers, something difficult considering that it does not exercise any power over the phone operators or the manufacturers themselves. Motorola advanced its updates for the United States, a few months ahead of the date that was originally believed.

For unknown reasons?
There is no unknown reason, the system is only carried by the Galaxy Nexus that have just come out, and the other phones will be updating from now on ...
"For unknown reasons" I mean that we do not know the reasons why the manufacturer does not update its devices or if it does it is with a very noticeable delay.
If android starts to carry windows, would it stop being open source?
They have not released the 4.0 well polished and they are already with the 5, that they stop inventing and do something perfect and less commercial nonsense, or android will start to look like blackberry with its incomplete software and releasing new versions without finishing polishing the previous one.
They are not updated JELLY BEAN will not be version 5 of android but rather version 4.1 in the same style of frojo and gingerbreak, they want to know more googleen !!!
