Android 4.1 Jelly Bean home screen revealed, automatically accomodates your apps and widgets

[![Jelly Bean home screen revealed, automatically accomodates your apps and widgets][1] ][2]

It's a pain manually moving apps and widgets on Android screens, ain't it? Well, at [Google I/O 2012][3], the folks in Mountain View have just given us some [Jelly Bean][4] salve to soothe that irritation. The latest Android OS automatically arranges onscreen icons around any new widgets or apps you choose to insert. Not only that, but you can also remove any unwanted apps and widgets with a simple swipe up and off the home screen to delete them. A welcome Android addition, to be sure, but it begs the question, when will us non-Nexus owners get to enjoy it?
