CyanogenMod plans a quick leap to Jelly Bean for version 10, existing devices likely to tag along

[![CyanogenMod new logo][1] ][2]

Whenever there's a new version of Android, Steve Kondik and the [CyanogenMod][3] team tend to [swing into action][4] almost immediately with plans for a major revision of the fan-favorite platform overhaul. For [Android 4.1 Jelly Bean][5], that swing will be faster than ever. The crew's early looks suggest that there will only be a few minor tweaks needed to merge Google's latest with the custom Android code, making CyanogenMod 10 a relative snap to produce. The update's release is still very much up in the air without the [Android Open Source Project][6] code available to modify; that said, device compatibility also isn't expected to be an obstacle. Any device that can run [CyanogenMod 9][7] should run version 10 when it's released. As long as we're willing to wait for a stable 9.0 to emerge first, there are few barriers to making Jelly Bean that much sweeter.
