 Reports have been circulating that devices running Android 4.2, rumored to be code-named Key Lime Pie (though it’s seeming more likely that it will retain the Jelly Bean moniker), have been popping up in server logs and benchmarks across the web. Well, after doing some digging through our own records, we’re seeing quite a few instances of hardware running the unannounced Google platform visiting Engadget. Now, we do feel it necessary to add the caveat that there are some strange reports in our logs as well, coming from hardware allegedly running Android 5.0 and 6.0, but we’re not convinced of their authenticity . . . → Read More: Android 4.2 shows up in our server logs, shocks no one

 We’ve certainly delved into Android 4.1 Jelly Bean’s new features, but Google itself is just now giving us a full exploration of its update’s sugar-laden heart through an official changelog. While Google Now, the updated camera app and other core components easily get their due, the checklist also has a decidedly more buttery feel than one would think — key individual apps like Calendar now have more elegant transitions to go with the leaps and bounds in Android’s overall speed. The breakdown even goes into corners that Google scarcely illuminated during the Google I/O keynote , such as accessibility and the finer nuances of the new keyboard. . . . → Read More: Google posts Android 4.1 Jelly Bean’s changelog, explores its latest dessert in detail
