Though Google has not made any official announcements, it's no secret that the next version of Android will be known as Jelly Bean.
While we'll likely hear more details about the mobile OS upgrade at today's Google I/O keynote, Google tipped Jelly Bean's arrival in a video (below) that shows it being added to Google's Android statue garden.
Typically, whenever a new version of Android is unveiled, a life-size replica of the new OS takes its place on a patch of grass outside the company's Mountain View headquarters. This week, a jelly bean-filled statue joined Androids dressed as an ice cream sandwich, a honeycomb, fro yo, a donut, and so forth.
"A new friend just moved into the neighborhood," the Android Twitter feed tweeted this morning with a link to the one-minute video.
In it, a moving truck rolls up to the Google offices and the driver removes a large crate. Googlers are then seen lining up and passing large jelly beans down a line, one by one, to their new home outside the Googleplex.
The Ice Cream Sandwich statue arrived at Google in Oct. 2011, shortly before Google unveiled Android 4.0 at an event in Hong Kong.
