ASUS gave users a quick heads up on which of their tablets would be honored with an Android 4.1 update. This doesn’t mean these are the only ASUS products that will be receiving Jelly Bean, but for now, you can rest assured knowing the following will definitely be getting the tasty treat:

You’re going to find tons of reasons to love your new Samsung Galaxy S III, and one of those reasons is the customizable App Drawer. While I don’t care for the positioning of the App Drawer icon, it’s the fact that once I’m in there, I can organize my apps the way that I want — and that’s cool. Not everyone cares for an alphabetically organized App Drawer (especially if you often use an app that starts with the letter Z). You could, of course, always organize your apps the way you’d like on your homescreens, but if you’re like me, you enjoy having a clutter free homescreen to show off your brilliant wallpaper.

In case you missed it, Google made the full SDK for Android 4.1 available for download yesterday, as well as an updated set of SDK tools (20.1.1) and the NDK (rev 8b). The download is available via the SDK manager or the Android Developers site and is a must have for developers. As with all new versions of Android, there’s a few learning curves. Thankfully Android engineer Nick Butcher was kind enough to give out some pointers.

If you’ve recently typed “weather” into Google search on your mobile phone, you may have noticed Google’s neat little interactive weather visualizations.

And now, these same cool visualizations are available in search on tablets.

When it comes to using mapping APIs on mobile, it’s hard to think about any name other than Google Maps. However, the truth is that Google Maps doesn’t fit the needs of every developer and/or company. Thankfully we live in a country that allows competition and choice (even though large companies continually try to squash it). There is, in fact, a broad number of mapping solutions available to developers, and with Apple and others recently abandoning Google Maps, we’ve seen a spark of interest in these alternatives. One that’s been working hard to provide a viable option to its customers is deCarta.
