Jelly Bean Hidden Easter Eggs Found in the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q

3oorahThis past week was one of the most exciting weeks in a long time fore a Google enthusiast. Not only was Jelly Bean announced, but two new and exciting devices were also unveiled at Google I/O as well — the Nexus 7 tablet and Nexus Q. Each of the 6,000 people in attendance at the Moscone Center in San Francisco walked away with all of the above and a great deal of these folks were developers who know their way around Android and were more than ready to do some digging.

A few days back, the guys over at Phandroid posted a video of the hidden Easter Egg from Android 4.1. We shared this on Google+ for you guys, but didn’t get a chance to post it on the site until now. Have a look at it below:

Now, Android Police has spotted the Easter Egg hidden in the Nexus Q — what? You didn’t think there would be an Easter Egg? Silly you, eh? Here are their findings:

Beneath the tough outer shell of the Q lives a lonely Magic 8 Ball. To summon this genie bipolar fortuneteller, rub tap it in the right place a few times, and out it comes. The right place happens to be the image of the sphere (first screenshot below) – just tap away, and the Q will eventually exclaim “Have a dilemma? Ask the Q.

Gotta love Google and their witty ways. They get an A+ for sex appeal in our books. Keep ‘em coming — we’ll keep on finding them.

    There’s an Easter Egg in ICS that’s not as funky as the JB one but, it’s in the same place. Repeatedly tap the OS version under “About Phone” in “Settings” and a little ICS Logo appears. However they’ve upped their game with the JB one!

    However the Q one is awesome! It looks like a cross between a Magic 8-ball and Marvin the Paranoid Android.

      if you tap and hold the ICS logo the phone vibrates 3 times i think then you get something like Nyan-Droid
