Android 4.1 has been confirmed to be called JellyBean in a checkout screen in the Google Play store.

DroidLife posted up screenshots earlier today that show Google listing the new software as Android 4.1, JellyBean.

The website also found other proof of this in an XDA Developers forum where a user posted similar image for the unlocked Galaxy Nexus available in Google Play.

There is a good chance that Google will unveil JellyBean at its upcoming Google I/O event.

Little is known about its features and UI Improvements at the moment.

The latest version of Android software available is Android 4.0.4, Ice Cream Sandwich.

The ICS upgrade has rolled out for many smartphones and tablets in countries around the world including the Galaxy S2.

The roll out of the Ice Cream Sandwich update has been slow, but Samsung has promised that it will be in the United States soon.

Ice Cream Sandwich is currently being used on 7.1 percent of all Android devices, according to a Google bi-monthly report released earlier this month.

The company posted some impressive new numbers that showed the growth of Ice Cream Sandwich in places throughout the world in recent months.

Just two months ago, Ice Cream Sandwich was only being used on 2.9 percent of all Android devices. These new numbers show that the software's users have more than doubled in this short time frame.

This could be due to the recent release of the HTC One series that includes the One S, One V and One X that are all powered by Ice Cream Sandwich.

The software will get another significant boost in usage thanks to the worldwide launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 this month.
