Flashback: thanking Android Jelly Bean for the buttery interface and multimedia improvements

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:03 AM PDT

As Google prepares to retire Android Jelly Bean to the great farm in the cloud where it can play with the alphabetically smaller versions, we thought this would be a good time to have a look back at a life well lived.
