Availability of Android Jelly Bean for existing devices is still unknown at this point as we expect major Vendors to announce their roadmap soon.

Seems so .. but we must know if Google Voice actions is as CPU intensive as SIRI was .. I think its safe to say that Google is now banking on dual-core phones more.. with all its new innovation and butter smooth UI .. Its gonna put it foot down and (unofficially) put single core phones outta luck. tl;dr - Jelly Bean only for dual core phones. harryneopotter - I think its time we move on .. DEFY served us well.
hmmm.. guess I will have to give this a dekho , but not before I check out the Nokia 808 once Or maybe both ( Ill gift the 808 to the missus, get my self a Note or some decent sized phone that lets me browse Raid101 with ease ( primary requirement! ), and keep using my N8 for imaging )
Get the note if you want a single all in one device. Get the nexus and nexus7 if you want two dedicated devices.
Galaxy Note .. I'd love to see that phone running JB .. but Samsung will take ages plastering it with their UI ..
I am not sure if their touch wiz looks good or not but i find it to be more functional than stock android, may be that's me.
Well.. Stock Android has improved considerably since its Eclair & Froyo days. The current ICS stock launcher is quite good infact .. with some more action widgets its can do all that as well.
well , thats not all jelly bean has to offer most noticable things are the transition animations which really improves the user experience although , most companies cough*samsung*cough might just kill jellybean with their ovelay
The 60fps UI is more of an internal thing so it will work well with all launchers and applications which support it.
^ most launchers[only apex was FCing out of the ones i tried ] / apps [very few that did not work] have updated inorder to work with JB
nothing visible , cause all games were smooth even on ics [and i dont like to run benchmarks ] although temple run gave issues on ics, which seemed to have reduced [without app update] although the major change is in the home screens and general browsing especially like the way u can just swipe to view pitures from the camera app [its like swiping through pictures ]
well , i was thinking of making a recording of the ui [ u know just regular browsing ] just to show every1 the transition effects and ui changes
