I love ICS and wasn't expecting an upgrade any time soon.
Here's a video showing the new Jelly Bean features:

| Android 4.1 - Jelly Bean |
Anyways, here's some features of Android 4.1 - Jelly Bean.
- Project Butter: This is meant to make the Jelly Bean experience (naturally) “buttery smooth.
- Text input has also been improved, especially with regard to voice typing – users no longer need to have a network connection to make the feature work; the speech interpreter lives directly on the device.
- Also new is a heightened focus on accessibility. The newly-added Gesture Mode allows blind users to navigate their devices with gestures, and support for external braille devices has been added as well.
- The Camera app has also been updated with a much faster way to review photos. Ice Cream Sandwich users may be familiar with the stock Camera app’s quick-shooting capabilities, but now users can pinch to enter a film strip view for faster perusal.
- Android Beam has been bolstered with the ability to share video via NFC, as well as the ability to pair with an NFC-enabled Bluetooth device just by tapping it.
- Notifications have also gotten a bit of a facelift — users can now return phone calls from within the notifications shade, as well as view multiple emails without having to jump into a separate app. Apps can also tap into the notification shade, and they can be expanded by dragging down with two fingers.
- Search experience: Searching from the Google bar brings up handsome white cards that display information culled using the Knowledge Graph. Also on deck is improved voice search, and it seems awfully Siri-esque in how it can display and read out search results with a very natural sounding female voice. Swiping away those response “cards” reveals regular search results.
