European users have had access to Jelly Bean for a little while now but this is the first opportunity for UK users to see what the software has to offer. The first UK network provider to begin rolling out this software was Three and other network providers followed close behind. Android users everywhere will be delighted at this news as Jelly Bean offers a number of improvements over other versions of the platform. One of the key changes is the new expandable notifications which will allow users to act directly on a notification.
