Today is a great day for those of you with an unlocked HSPA+ version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The highly anticipated Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software update is now starting to roll out to you! It was previously made available only to those who had attended Google’s I/O conference as a “developer preview” but it will now be available to everyone with the unlocked HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus!

This is definitely exciting news and we cant wait to give the new software a go ourselves. Google announced the great news today on its Nexus Google+ page:

“The rollout of Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, begins today, starting with Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ devices.
Jelly Bean makes everything feel fast, fluid, and smooth. Notifications are expandable and actionable, widgets are magical and the keyboard is smarter and more accurate: http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Jelly Bean also features a redesigned search experience, with a new user interface and faster Voice Search. You can type your query or simply ask Google a question. Google can speak back to you, delivering a precise answer if it knows one, in addition to a list of search results.
Google Now is also part of the updated Google app, getting you just the right information at just the right time. Google Now tells you today’s weather before you start your day, how much traffic to expect before you leave for work, or your favorite team’s score as they’re playing. There’s no digging required: cards appear at the moment you need them most.
If you’ve got a Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ device, you will receive a prompt alerting you to the update over the next several days. Up next for Jelly Bean: all Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Motorola Xoom and of course, Nexus 7, which will ship with Jelly Bean later this month.”

So there you have it folks! You should be receiving the OTA update within the next few days. Let us know when you get the update and what you think about it in the comments section below!
