Been seeing numerous articles/rumors about Google releasing Jellybean sometime in Q2 this year. From what I understand, it seems to be optimized for tablets. But I thought ICS was supposed to be the one for both phones and tablets to limit the increasing fragmented Android eco-system?
Was considering on getting an Android tablet in the next couple months, but will most likely just get iPad 3 for now.

You have to run special apps like the YouTube iTunes app to run some of the Flash contents on the new iPad. ICS is the last platform Adobe will support Flash. So it remains to be seen what advantages Jellybean will have because Flash will not be supported since HTML5 is the new standard.
Asus might be among the first to the Jellybean device just like it did with ICS (the Eee Pad Transformer Prime). http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/03/asus-google-android-5-0-jelly-bean/
My guess is that Jellybean will have better 4G support, which does little for Taiwan or China since both are still a few years away from 4G.
