Google’s Jelly Bean and Two Other Stories You Need to Know

 Google Gives Sneak Peek of Jelly Bean

Google inadvertently gave a sneak peek of Jelly Bean, its next iteration of Android, by putting a mention of the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ phone on Google Play. Google quickly took the item down, but not before Droid Life took a screen shot of it, revealing its price, $409.

The mention on Google Play gives weight to reports that Google plans to sell the device directly, a la Apple. Google tried that route with the Nexus One in 2010, but consumers didn’t bite. More details about Jelly Bean will likely be divulged at I/O next week.

Tweetbot Coming to Mac

Tweetbot, the popular iOS Twitter client, is coming to the Mac as well, according to The Verge, which got a screen shot of it on the new MacBook Retina display. The publication confirmed that the Mac version is indeed on its way, though timing has not been confirmed.
