  • Ease of use Android has become simple to use. If something doesn't work properly, it tells you and with Jelly Bean it is very easy to know what is causing a problem. great!
  • Speed Project Butter works! Overall Jelly Bean is smoother, faster, and more responsive than any other android operating system in history. great!
  • Configurability Android has been known for it's configurability. Often having too many choices. But that's not a bad thing! great!
  • Ecosystem (apps, drivers, etc.) Android has become very stable. In the 3 months I've used this product, I've had maybe 5-10 force closes. Which is much better than I can say for the iPhone. great!
  • Openness Openness. Android is waaay too open. Allowing almost anyone and everyone to change, alter, and modify android to their liking. Even if it's not good. (motoblur) great!
Detailed review
Overall Jelly Bean is the best possible update for android although I'd give it more of a 9.5 as it's not perfect but is very stable. Also, android has some openness issues it needs to regulate a little to prevent too much tampering with the OS.

A Big Recommend and a Big Decision maker for my next Android device.

Android in the future is looking nice.
