hey what's up guys I'm Kay PhD here so last week a Seuss promised that they would be rolling out Android 4.1 jelly bean to the transformer pad infinity then they had delay they said all right next week we'll roll it out well here we are and on Monday morning little did we know that that meant that today we would be getting the Transformer Pad Infinity jelly bean so now the Transformer Pad Infinity the transformer prime and the transformer pad 300 all have Android 4.1 rolling on them and this is what we're gonna be taking a look at today Android on a 10-inch form-factor tablet and a little bit of how it compares to Android 4.1 on 7-inch tablets so without any further ado let's hop into this quick video and take a look so this is what its gonna first look like when you first get Android 4.1 jelly bean installed on your Transformer Pad Infinity now when we first got Ice Cream Sandwich we were introduced to that camera shortcut over on the left and we get this nice interesting effect here with our finger but now we get the camera shortcut beyond lock and Google now at the top which I'll get to in a second but will unlock here of course I have to swipe to the right to unlock and use notice that you get the same tablet UI that you get with Android 4.0 so any 10-inch or I guess anything greater than the size of the Nexus 7 which is a unique seven inch form factor you still get this tablet UI so you don't get the swipe down notification bar instead you get the regular horizontal layout and you get a regular notification down at the bottom right hand corner so on the Nexus 7 you didn't have these paginating icons at the top but this is an asus thing so you get to know what page you're on and of course swiping from page to page is really fast really really smooth thanks to project butter and Android 4.1 so to see exactly what version of Android you have you can go to settings here and hit about tablet and you'll see it's Android 4.1.1 jelly bean and of course you get that little Easter Egg here we can toss around multiple jelly beans here but that's a good way to know what version of the OS you have but basically Google now is one of the biggest new features and you have more than one way to access it now if you go to the app drawer which is again very smooth you can open the google app now and instead of just going to a search it will actually bring you into the Google Mail layout which has two columns of cards which is actually pretty cool so you have it's not really sorted anyway but you might have multiple calendar events over here and some more sports cards over here so it's pretty nice that you have more than one column using all the resolution of this 1080p displays real estate so I'll go ahead and ask it you can also update or access it by tapping this microphone over here how cold is it in Alaska so you can see that it's pretty responsive of course just as fast as you'd expect it to be Google now is very very fast and of course you get the web search results below if you ever need to question that source of course it's very cold there what is 25 + 25 all right well sometimes it'll respond just by saying Google other times it won't but that's one of the unique features of Android 4.1 is Google now and of course you still have that a neat app tray like we said the cards you I kind of preserves itself here and you also get the new backgrounds behind the widgets which give you an outline of how big they look so they all kind of have this uniform look when you scroll through the widgets and then the app drawer is of course very smooth so that's Android 4.1 on the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity performance is extremely fast it is all improved now because you know project butter is just that awesome pretty much brings the stability we've wanted with Android 4.1 and it's it's just here to stay now this is what Android was meant to be and it's really really close to stock here there's very few Asus customizations the one asu's thing that I think is really ugly is the notification bar that's not from a sous so if I go down here and use Asus settings I don't know I happen to think that looks really ugly so I definitely don't enable that I uncheck that and you get the nice expandable notifications at Android 4.1 you can swipe them away and of course clear all so that's it that's Android 4.1 jelly bean hope you enjoyed this quick look at it and tell me what you think let me know if you're enjoying it on your DP tablet peace out guys you
