Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rolling out to GSM Galaxy Nexus

We are not even mid-way through July and Google has already initiated the process of releasing the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to Nexus devices as promised at the Google I/O.

The first device to receive the update will be the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus (maguro). Users of this device will see the notification for the update in the next few days. If you are running the version of Jelly Bean provided on the developer units at Google I/O you will still receive this update as it is newer than the developer version.
After updating, you will see all the features shown off at the Google I/O, including Project Butter, Google Now, improved notifications, improved homescreen, improved keyboard, improved camera app and many more. You can find out more about them in our preview.
Other devices such as the CDMA Galaxy Nexus (toro), Nexus S and the Motorola XOOM will receive the update shortly after the GSM Galaxy Nexus.

Android 4.0 update now rolling to AT&T Galaxy Note

AT&T is finally rolling out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the Galaxy Note in the US. Although the international version received this update a while ago, those using the AT&T version can now join the fun as well.

Just like the international version, the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note also gets the special Premium Suite of apps along with stuff that Android 4.0 brings. As we discussed before, the Premium Suite of apps brings special S-Pen related features, such as the ability to draw shapes and getting them automatically corrected (for example, you can draw a rough square and the phone will automatically correct it to a proper square), solving hand-drawn equations and searching for them on Wolfram|Alpha and creating personalized card that you can send to people.

The update is now rolling out so make sure you check your phone to see if it is available.
